When Money Is Not Your Servant...


According to an Italian proverb, "When money is not your servant, it becomes your master." Failure to handle money properly can cause all sorts of headaches. To what degree money can enhance our lives depends more on how we intelligently use the money we have than on how much we earn.

Two powerful ways to handle money: both are equally effective. The first powerful way is to spend less than you earn. The second powerful way is to earn more than you spend. That's all there to the money game. Use only one of these powerful principles, and you will have handled money successfully.


Handling the small expenditures is just as important as handling the large ones. Benjamin Franklin cautioned, "Beware of little expenses: a small leak will sink a great ship."
