foolish spending of money.
Both men and women should remember that
Saving is habit like any other habit It is hard at

The hard work is practicing of self denial at first It

most of us have to learn to do that.
Learn not to be forever yearning for things you don't

In every man there exists the passion for collecting
Some collect stamps some collect coins old pictures

chance to succeed and to do your best work independently
