چادر دیکھ کر پاؤں پھیلانا
To live within one's means; to adjust one's lifestyle, needs, and ambitions according to the resources actually available. Literally, "to stretch out one's feet (only) after seeing the size of the bedsheet." It is a traditional, proverbial phrase advocating for prudence, moderation, and avoiding the pitfalls of overreach and debt.
