One of my favourite Thai proverbs is "Little birds build nests according to their size". It often said when a person buy something expensive or much more than their money. It means that you should living within your means. A similar proverb in English is "Cut your coat according to your clothes". I like it becuase I like bird and it makes sense that we should living within our means, I can say that this proverb reminds me to save money.
