One gain money by one's wisdom so spent it wisely.

Please correct it or tell me a better sentence.

"One gains money by one's wisdom, so spend it wisely."

It is now grammatical. It doesn't make much sense to me, though.

I made this sentence and I meant to say everyone makes money through their wisdom. Wisdom can mean skill in their profession and skill to make a good decision. Some earn by business and some earn money by a job. Either way wisdom is required. SOme people spend it for foolish things many times. I try to make my own sentence to practice English. I have to improve a lot.

Wisdom isn't required for many jobs IMO. Wisdom is not the same as a skill. Not all jobs require decisions. I think the sentence doesn't work.

I think a job where wisdom is not required may not give you enough money, but that was a good joke.
