The one who stole a needle today, will steal a cow tomorrow.
In other words, learning bad behaviour is an evolutionary process. One starts with small things, then graduates to serious stuff.
>2-enss bla yaksum, etekred bla yamarwas.

In other words, don't buy what you cannot afford. Live within your means.
