Here is an interesting study: Make out a list of all the people you know, and estimate the amount, of money each one earns in a year. Tota l it up. The amount will be surprisingly large. Now, of all those people, * only the few who SAVE SOMETHING really make any thing at all. Simply earning money isn’t mak ing it—-what slips through the earner’s fingers is finally “made” Jjy Somebody else. Don’t forget to count yourself ia on the list, and if you are not “making” money begin now to save with us. One dollar will open your bank account.
