 young man who would have a com potency at the end of ten years must make sacrifices for the first two three years say shat yoa' for , instance, & are earning sso others are doing. Now, during the first sxciatm. If should save sl.Ooo year that would make $i0.oo0 at the end of ton years. without counting the interest You're But wait. We are suposins now that you are having your share of prosperity and years year you will have doctors % @ biiis "s to psy rey and may even be without employment at dimes. These things must be taken into consis era ton If you would save $10,000 In ten years.
 So the first year you save si;oOO. This upon which to live during that time. Per haps you will have to move out of your present home and rent one that is cheaper. you to contract fewer tailoring bills, and in all probability you will get your wife to d. aa6 y1u 70 ood in a ss0nomsing; ,h but you must aust necessary for you to save $1.0o0 during the find that you can do 1t.
 In the second year your load will become lighter. and then you will see why 1t was first year. The sl.0oo you can easily place out at per cent interest and at the end $5o So during this second year you have to save only $95o. In other words, you have $i . week more to spend on the com forts of life during the second year than the first Tn tkls way your load continues to get lighter and lighter. You begin your third year with s1.0o0 out at interest and during this year need save only S9OO. which which leaves you $2 a week more to spend than during the first year: and So 1t soss Hnti. at the end # the fifth year you are saving only s7so a year ar lsss than ens- half of your salary 31,5s0 salary. Each year you have more to spend At the end Of your eighth year you are saving just sl2.6O a week, while you have s17so to spend.
 At the end of your tenth year you have e10. 000- which Is earning you $500 year and which may even bring you 3cOO tG S70O a year if you invest It well If yoI were only thirty years of nge when you began saving you are still too young to retire on $50 a month; but now you can can spend all that you earn, and at the end Of am other ten years if you do not gather the you, you will be worth a little over ST. .0oJ, which at per cent. will bring you you an income of $s5 a month for the rest of your life.
 A modification of the above scheme can be made to work to the profit of any wage earner. no matter wha: his weekly earnings may be. granting of course that they sufficient to live upon com'ort- ably For instance if the man who earns SIS a week could save v wesk sr -Four teen years he would have acquired Q little fortune of S5,0ss. This task ot saving s7 a week out of SIS week far FPS weeks seems stupendous at trSt' m ,M 6Ht . %nch So1 is not so difficult after all In the first place. you would have to save s1 week only for the first year. just as the man sl GOO for the first year only. At the end of the first year you would have sSst. By the end of the second year this would have earned you SlS2O at per cent. so that this year you would need to save only ss4sso instead of sSs4 or se;?5 a week: During the third year you would have s12s SorkinR for you, which at per cent would sSyn sss 70, leaving you ss.30 to save each week that year, Figuring in this way. in the beginning of your sixth S year yeu would beginning of your ninth. S4.2o and at the beginning of your twelfth. only aS.i6. Yet at the end of your Kourseenth year you Sriy employed. would mean great deal to you in the years to coma.
