]■ Putting Off BeingThriftj
& Many people have it all “figured out” that they will turn
| about, some day, and begin to be thrifty—when it is easier.
j|| ' * * And then they go right on, assiduously cultivating habits
of unthrift and rooting them more deeply into the character
that is growing within them. 1
They little realize that the chances for changing to J
habits of thrift lessen with each setting of the sun. 1
| j % It will never be easier t£ save than it is right now. 1
To be sure, we have the “high cost of living” with us, but
it is always with the unthrifty.
"■ In these times of piping prosperity there should be a
concerted national turning toward thrift. Nothing is more A
III certain to reduce the cost of living. -
III 1
One of the greatest causes for high living cost is the I
eagerness of people to get rid of their money. - [
Do you really think it will be easier to cultivate the saving habit
when times become hard again? ... . ;J.
Of course you don’t. Begin now to let Thrift rule your actions. ,4
