How much should you save?

The question of how much a person should save cannot be answered in a few words, for the amount each should save depends upon many conditions, some of which ma be within one;s control and some of which may not be.

A salaried worker should apportion his or her income about as follows.

Savings Account  20%
Necessities             50%
Education               10%
Recreation             10%
Life insurance       10%
                                      100%

The following, however , indicates the approximate distribution that the average person actually makes of their income.

Savings Account   0%
Necessities            60%
Education               0%
Recreation             35%
Life insurance       5%
                                      100%

Careful analysis of 178 men who are known to be successful disclosed the fact that all had failed many times before arriving.

It is no wonder the rich becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer!

We are all victims of habit.

If you save nothing, you are absolutely sure never to be financially independent, no matter how much your income may be.

You cannot rely upon such a miracle happens to you.

All sales people will do well to remember that no one wants anything that someone else if trying to get rid of.

Think well before you speak because your words may plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of some other person.

I am thankful for the adversities that have crossed my pathway, for they have taught me tolerance, sympathy, self control, perseverance and some other virtues I might never have known.

Indecision

Procrastination robs you of opportunity. It is a significant fact that no great leader was ever known to procrastinate. You are fortunate if ambition drives you into action, never permitting you to falter or turn back once you have rendered a decision to go forward. You may be shocked if you kept accurate account of the time you waste in a single day. Second by second, as the clock ticks off the distance, time is running a race with you. Delay means defeat, because no one may ever make up a second of lost time. Wasted time is one of the chief causes of failure. Time is also, however, a master worker that heals the wounds of failure and disappointment, and rights all wrongs and turns all mistakes into capital. But it favors only those who kill off procrastination and remain in action when there are decisions to be made. Life is a great checkerboard. The player opposite you is Time.
