Seven Cures For a Lean Purse

👇
The First Cure.

Start thy purse to fattening.

A part of all you earn is yours to keep. It should be not less than a tenth no matter how little you earn. It can be as much more as you can afford.
The Second Cure.

Control thy expenditures.

Confuse not the necessary expenses with thy desires.
All men are burdened with more desires than they can gratify.
The Third Cure.

Make thy gold multiply.

A man's wealth is not in the coins he carries in his purse; it is the income he buildeth, the golden stream that continually floweth into his purse and keepeth it always bulging.
The gold we may retain from our earnings is but the start.
The Fourth Cure.

Guard thy treasures from loss.

The first sound principle of investment is security for thy principal. Is it wise to be intrigued by larger earnings when thy principal may be lost? I say not. The penalty of risk is probable loss.
The Fifth Cure.

Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment.

Thus come many blessings to the man who owneth his own house. And greatly will it reduce his cost of living, making available more of his earnings for pleasures and the gratification of his desires.
The Sixth Cure.

Insure a future income.

Provide in advance for the needs of thy growing age and the protection of thy family.
The Seventh Cure.

Increase thy ability to earn.

The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn.
That man who seeks to learn more of his craft shall be richly rewarded.
