Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are stressed about being forced to spend money on something you don't want or can’t afford. This quote means you don’t need to worry about paying for something extra. Think about when you buy a new phone, and they ask if you want to pay extra for insurance. The relief you feel when told you don't need that insurance is like a weight off your shoulders. In life, this advice could mean freeing yourself from unnecessary worries or costs. Instead of feeling pressured to always prepare for every bad thing that might happen, focus on what you can manage without overburdening yourself. It encourages living with a bit more freedom and less anxiety about the future.
