; HABSON AND BUDGETS. ;
1: ' Roger Babson, statistician, had a comparatively smooth
i time of it as long as he confined his statistics and advice
f to the world of business. When he invaded the American
lj home, and attempted lo tell the family what they had to do
I .without, he got into trouble, lie says his critics insist that
nobody who is anybody can get along on the allowances he
ft has made for automobile, rent, clothing and some other
f things. 'Mr, Babson says his sympathies are all with the
i critics. Ho wishes they had more money for tho things
J., they want. But how can they spend it if they haven't
got it? ;
.. It seems that 38 per cent of rill earners in the United
t SUitcs earn less than $1,000 pur year. Thirty-four per cent
! get more than f 1,000 but less than $1,500. Fourteen per
tent of the whole get as much "as $2,000. Eleven per cent
1 get between $2,000 and $r,000. Only 3 per cent of the
total get $5,000 or over.
... .
I :i II is finite evident, as Mr. Bubson'snys, thut if a family
I spends too much for one department of life, it cannot have
j enough for something else. Even where there are several
j woi Vers in a family, raising the total income, the problem
1 is light there, incty-seven per cent of all, workers get
i less than $5,000 iper year.
' This is astounding when one considers the stylo in which
f the average family seems ii live. Mr. Babson's conclusion
J is that "budgets are very little used, and many families
arc gradually, but constantly, getting into debi." ..It is
! noniething to think about.
