Eid is a time of Happiness and Joy
It's sad to see Muslims not being happy for Eid, being depressed, not dressing up in their best clothes, not attending Eid Salaah, not visiting family and friends and expressing joy and sleeping all day as if this day means nothing.
Unfortunately we are more excited for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, baby showers even mothers day and fathers day all these celebrations which have NO basis in Qur'aan and Sunnah. We put so much effort, planning, decorating, even taking day off from work for imitation of the non Muslims. May Allah guide us to be thankful to Him for Eid and to express joy on this day.

What Is Certainty?
Ibn Masʾūd (رضي الله عنه) Said:
Certainty is that you neither please the people to displease Allāh nor envy anyone for the provision Allāh has given him, nor blame anyone for what Allāh has not given you; because Allāh’s provision will neither come to you through the eagerness of the one [who wants it to come to you] nor will it be repelled by the dislike of the one who dislikes that [it should be given to you].

Narrated by Aisha:
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered a horned ram with black legs, a black belly, and black around its eyes, and it was brought to him to sacrifice. He said to Aisha: 'O Aisha, bring the knife.' Then he said: 'Sharpen it with a stone.' So she did. He took it, then took the ram and laid it down. Then he sacrificed it, saying: 'In the Name of Allah. O Allah, accept (this sacrifice) from Muhammad, the family of Muhammad, and the Ummah of Muhammad.' Then he sacrificed it."

If you don't know who Allah is then read this!
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) described the greatness of Allaah in the most beautiful way:
"Allah is controlling the affairs of all the kingdoms. He commands and prohibits, creates and gives provision, and gives death and gives life. He raises and lowers peoples status, alternates night and day, gives days (good and not so good) to men by turns, and causes nations to rise and fall, so that one nation vanishes and another emerges. His command and decree are carried out throughout the heavens and on earth, above it and below it, in the oceans and in the air. He has knowledge of all things and knows the number of all things. He hears all voices, and does not mistake one for another; He hears them all, in all the different languages and with all their varied requests and pleas. No voice distracts Him from hearing another, He does not confuse their requests, and He never tires of hearing the pleas of those in need. He sees all that is visible, even the walk of a black ant across a solid rock in the darkest night.
The unseen is visible to Him, and secrets are known to Him Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honour to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some, etc.)! [al-Rahmaan 55:29 interpretation of the meaning]. He forgives sins, eases worries, relieves distress, helps the defeated person back on his feet, makes the poor rich, guides the one who is astray and confused, fulfils the needs of the desperate, feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, conceals faults, and calms fears. He raises the status of some and lowers the status of others Even if all the inhabitants of heaven and earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as pious as the most pious among them, this would not increase His sovereignty in the slightest; if they all, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as rebellious as the most rebellious among them, this would not decrease His sovereignty in the slightest. If everything in heaven and on earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn, living and dead, animate and inanimate, were to stand in one place and ask of Him, and He were to give them everything that they asked for, thiswould not decrease what He has by even an atoms weight.
He is the First, before Whom there is nothing, and the Last, after Whom there is nothing, may He be blessed and exalted. He is the Most deserving of being remembered, the Most deserving of being worshipped, the Most deserving of being thanked. He is the Most Compassionate of kings, the Most Generous of those who are asked He is the King Who has no partner or associate, the One who has no rival, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who has no son, the Most High, and there is none like unto Him. Everything will perish save His face [al-Qasas 28:88 interpretation of the meaning], and everything will vanish except His sovereignty He will not be obeyed except by His permission, and He will not be disobeyed except with His knowledge. He is obeyed, so He shows His appreciation, and He is disobeyed, so he forgives. Every punishment on His part is justice, and every blessing from Him is a favour. He is the closest of witnesses and the nearest of protectors. He seizes people by their forelocks, records their deeds and decrees the appointed time for all things. Hearts conceal nothing from Him, for secrets are known to Him. His gift is a word and His punishment is a word: Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, Be! and it is.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐭, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞?
Giving 1/3rd of sacrificial meat to the poor, 1/3rd to the poor, 1/3rd to the relatives is indeed a great deed but nowhere sanctioned in the Shari'ah. The source of this was from a man who used to distribute his crops everytime in this ratio and Allah loved his action. So yes, some sahabah adopted this way but its not an obligation.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to give a generic command for all like :
1) Eat some.
2) Preserve some (for later)
3) Give some in charity.
Although he ﷺ himself was so generous that he sacrificed 100 camels but ate only a few pieces out of one camel and gave out the entirety of it to his companions and the needy. Allahu Akbar. Look at his generosity. صلى الله عليه وسلم
Based on this, Imam Ash Shafi'ee (rh) said:
"It is mustahabb (recommended to give out most of it in charity)... "
Since there seems to be no limits defined on how much to eat and how much to save and how much to give in charity, Imam Malik (rh) said:
“There is no limit to what may be eaten or given in charity or used to feed the poor or the rich, whether one wants to give it uncooked or cooked.”
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 28:
لِّيَشْهَدُوا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَاتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّن بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ { فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا الْبَائِسَ الْفَقِيرَ}
{..... Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time}
𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 :
Of a surety giving most of is best (sunnah) and not giving anything out of it is against the command of Allah.
May Allah make us generous and accept from us.

ALLĀH IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE RIGHTEOUS
ALLĀH said,
إِنَّ وَلِيِّـيَ اللّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ
Verily, my protector is ALLĀH Who has revealed the Book (the Qur'an), and HE protects the righteous.
ALLAH'S support is sufficient and HE will suffice for me, HE is My supporter, I trust in HIM and take refuge with HIM. HE is my protector, in this life and the Hereafter, and the protector of every righteous believer after me.
Similarly, the people of Hud said,
إِن نَّقُولُ إِلاَّ اعْتَرَاكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوءٍ
"All that we say is that some of our gods have seized you with evil (madness)."
قَالَ إِنِّى أُشْهِدُ اللَّهِ وَاشْهَدُواْ أَنِّى بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ مِن دُونِهِ فَكِيدُونِى جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنظِرُونِ إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ مَّا مِن دَابَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ ءاخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَأ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَى صِرَطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
Hud replied: "I call ALLĀH to witness, and bear you witness that I am free from that which you ascribe (as partners in worship, with HIM (ALLĀH)). So plot against me, all of you, and give me no respite. I put my trust in ALLĀH, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving (living) creature but HE has the grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on a path that is straight. {Hud: Verse 54-56}

Advice for those who are going through financial struggles.
1. Don't worry much about how hard your financial situation is rather understand that you are asking from Allah the One and Only One who has access to unlimited resources and the one who if he gives you everything in this world it still doesn't take away anything from him majesty and he can give the same to every single person.
2. Always make this dua
اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّي أَعْوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الهَـمِّ وَ الْحُـزْنِ، والعًجْـزِ والكَسَلِ والبُخْـلِ والجُـبْنِ، وضَلَـعِ الـدَّيْنِ وغَلَبَـةِ الرِّجال
Allaahumma 'innee 'a'oothu bika minal-hammi walhazani, wal'ajzi walkasali, walbukhli waljubni, wa dhala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijaali .
O Allah , I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness, from weakness and from laziness, from miserliness and from cowardice, from | being overcome by debt and from being overpowered by men.
3. Hustle the halal way. Make use of your free time to find halal ways of earning. Starting small is better than not starting at all. Restrict your lifestyle to avoid any unnecessary spending.
4. Don't take financial advices from those who want to charge you for their advice or course. Don't take advice from people who haven't achieved financial freedom. Most people who flaunt wealth are drowning in debts. So don't get carried away by the glitter.
5. Understand that wealth is not the end goal and just a means to earn more good deeds. So even after all your attempts you fail then know that it's what's best for you to enter Jannah.
6. Spend in Allah's way when you don't have. Everyone spends when they have. Remember Allah sees and knows everything you do.
7. Give up sins. Sins are one of the major reasons why there is no barakah in your wealth.

Advice of Sufyān Al-Thawrī (رحمه الله) to ʿAlī Ibn Al-Ḥasan As-Sulamī:
Your companion should be the one who prevents you from being preoccupied with things of the worldly life that will divert you from Allāh, and one who makes you desire and work for the Hereafter.
Beware of accompanying people who make the dunyah their goal, those who are engrossed in speaking about the worldly life; indeed they will corrupt your religion and your heart.
Remember death much, and seek a lot of forgiveness from what has passed of your sins, and ask Allāh for safety for what remains of your life.

LOVE THIS ANALOGY
You're holding a cup of coffee and someone accidentally bumps into you, causing it to spill everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me."
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. If there had been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
So, when life shakes you up, whatever is inside you will come out.
It's easy to pretend everything's fine until you're shaken.
So, we have to ask ourselves, "What's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy? Gratitude? Peace? Humility? Anger? Bitterness? A victim mentality? A tendency to quit?
Rember LIFE gives you the cup; YOU choose what to fill it with.

“Look!! For indeed you are NOT better than a red (i.e a white person) or a black (person) except that (if) you are superior to him in righteousness (Taqwā).”

“Perform many good deeds and Allāh will make you feel happy and at ease in your grave. Stay away from all prohibited deeds and thus will you taste the sweetness of Īmān. Sit in the company of righteous and pious people and Allāh will make well for you the affairs of your religion. And in the affairs of your religion, consult those who fear Allāh. Hasten to perform good deeds and Allāh will protect you from disobeying Him.
Remember Allāh frequently and as a result, Allāh will make you less desirous of this world (and its pleasures and possessions). Remember death and as a result, Allāh will make your worldly affairs easier for you. Yearn for Paradise and as a result, Allāh will help you obey Him. Be frightened by the Hellfire and as a result, Allāh will make it easier for you to endure the hardships of this life.”
