The Business of Getting On
in the World
WHATEVER the future holds for you, your
everyday actions are increasing the amount
of it.
If your attitude toward money today is one
of reckless disregard for the future, undoubt
edly you are storing up trouble.
If it's the same tomorrow, more trouble.
But, if your thoughts are turned toward the sensible
things that mean, finally, more money in your savings ac
count, the danger of trouble, sometime in the future, di
minishes. Have you a savings account ? Is it always uppermost
in your mind? Does it receive a fair share of your in
come? Are you doing everything a sensible person
should to avoid the troubles that overwhelm so many peo
ple, almost within speaking distance of you every day ?
Have you a regular "bank day"?
