In every life there are deep ravines, gullies and torrents, which the rash man comes upon unexpectedly, attempts to leap, in his haste miscalculates and falls. The man with judgment anticipates the chasm and carefully builds a bridge upon which he crosses in perfect safety. First of all, we live to live. Not one of us is there who does not dream today of climbing sometime to his Heart's Desire. But dreams will end in dreams, unless we work and plan and sacrifice now. If you are rich, there should be something in these pages to show you how to do more with your riches and to more fully enjoy the wealth which has been bestowed upon you. If you are on the way to wealth, something herein should serve to smooth the road and make! it shorter; if you are poor, the way to wealth is open to you and '' Plain as way to Parish Church.'' Read --think--plan--grow rich. Every man cannot be rich, but you and I can.
Poverty usually "comes from idleness, intemperance, extravagance and folly." "Wealth may be an excellent thing, for It means power, leisure and liberty."--James Russell Lowell.
CHAPTER I "Money does all things; for it gives and it takes away, it makes honest men and knaves, fools and philosophers; and so on to the end of the chapter."-- L'Estrange. IS MONEY WEALTH? The number of men and women who can now be laying away small fortunes is almost incredible. At the same time they can live well, dress well, and surround themselves and their families with all needful comforts and educational advantages. Money is not wealth. Earning thousands of dollars brings nothing to any one--unless it is so spent that "while one lives one may enjoy more fully the good things of life.'' The first of all good things is that one shall have comfort and independence as long as he lives-- that means putting money by.
