Your earnings get into the bank sooner or later whether you
put them there or not.
If you spend all you make you let somebody else deposit
your dollars.
Having a bank aecount in somebody else’s name will never
do YOU any good.
Why don’t you start a bank account of your own with a part
of your own earnings?
