Nobody's fool

Life teaches us lessons we all have to learn. Ones never to spend more than you earn. Love your neighbour be honest and true. Be a friend to everyone but nobody's fool.

Can't beat your advice, John. In addition, 'neither a lender nor a borrower be.' ~ Gloucester to his bastard son Edmund, in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'
