Your Income Saving your money and letting it compound is not one of my original ideas. Benjamin Franklin, perhaps the first world-famous American celebrity, believed wholeheartedly in thrift. As we've discussed, you must cure yourself of habits that lead to waste. To add to this, learn to put money aside and let it grow for you. Start early in life and keep at it.
Saving means putting aside and keeping it there.
Put money into tax-deferred accounts of course, but when you reach the limits of these, save in regular accounts. No matter what your budget, put aside something regularly. Keep at it and never stop. And the money will grow. It will pay you back for your discipline and spending restraint many times over.
