Dear Jack & Jill,
I reached back home safely. After returning from your home, I could not sleep properly for three days, I have always purchased things with cash. I feel it is a disgrace to buy things on long-term hire purchase schemes. I gave you two hundred pounds to help you start your married life. But you have squandered all that seed money in making advance payment on expensive purchases like piano, furniture, car, and even a home on loan. You pay equated.
monthly installments that exceed your monthly salary. You are borrowing every month to pay your dues I’m really upset. I don’t know what you did with the ten pounds, I gave you. I wish to give you the following recommendation. You can print them and display them in your drawing-room. So, that you‘11 try to follow them seriously in your life.
- Let your first expenditure be saving 10% of salary for future.
- Never buy things you don’t need.
- Cut your cloth according to your size.
- If you spend on the future income you will become a pauper.
- A penny saved is a penny earned.
- Contentment is the greatest wealth in the world.
- Lead a simple life befitting your income.
- Don’t ever try to compete with others.
- Those who are thrifty invariably become rich.
- Those who spend all their money in haste will regret in leisure.
Your loving aunt,
Jane
