Can gluttony make us poor?

Can gluttony really make us poor? Yes it can, as well as drunkenness. Even the Bible has warned people to not be tied up with gluttons and drunkards because they become poor.

“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags. – Proverbs 23:20-21”

Spending too much on foods and wines can exhaust our money and even our unsold assets. This even becomes worst for people who have already become addicted to meat and alcohols. And to prove it further, these clumsy habits will make us sick and unhealthy, causing our works to weaken and our income to fall. Drunkenness and gluttony also destroy our self-discipline. It strongly influences indolence and procrastination. Consequently, it gives a person failure in every goal he will try to attain – may it be personal, spiritual or financial.

The words of God don’t lie. I personally experience it and can prove it to be true. I have observed that buying and consuming excessive foods, which I cannot resist because of their mouth-watering taste, destroys my financial budget. Moreover, I’ve also proven to myself that avoiding drunkenness and wild partying can give me a lot of cash savings. Therefore, I conclude that gluttony and drunkenness can indeed make a person poor. On the other hand, self-control and fasting can significantly help us save money and increase our work to earn more profit.
