How to use "Prodigality" in context?
What is prodigality?
Prodigality is the excessive or unrestrained use of money, possessions, or time. It is also the act of being wasteful or extravagant in one's expenditures.
There is a delicate balance that needs to be held when it comes to spending. Too much can lead to financial instability, and too little can leave one feeling deprived. A happy medium can be found through prodigality- when expenses are placed in perspective and are used to enrich one's life, rather than deplete it.
