The Value of Money
IT you would learn the value of money, try
to porrow some, and you will find that it is
not so easv to do when you have nothing
to secure the loan.
But if you weuld save a part of your earn
ings each pay day, and put them in a safe
bank where they could draw interest, you
would always have ready money, and not
be subjected to the embarrassment of being
refused a small loan.
Yes, you would have it if would save; but
unless you determine to save. and save reg
ularly, vou're likely to be embarrassed at
any time.
