An extraordinary bit of luck at the gaming tables, a lottery ticket, that gives life- time largesse to the lucky ticket holder, or a surprise inheritance from a distant relative, all can dump wealth in astonished laps and toss financial worries to the winds of oblivion. somehow manage to avoid most of us working stiffs. For the most part we have to settle for pedestrian economic roles, and labor long and hard for the bucks that ultimately become ours. Our financial accumulations come about through blood, sweat, tears and more than an occasional bout with Mr. Inflation - which unfortunately no one ever pays to free society. watch. THE FIRST and most prominent road to riches is simply the selection of a career that will enable one to earn a lot of money. As simple as this sounds, it is often overlooked by many, and pursued by even fewer. If the career choice is sufficiently correct so that the amount of money coming in the front door is greater than the amount being shoveled out the back, almost no other NO MATTER as menial as our employment may be, as ordinary as our income chances to be, there is a financial decisions or non decisions are important. Inflation, poor investment choices, bad business judgj ments all add up to naught against such a fortune. WHAT CAREERS are we talking about Theyre common. They should be well known to all. The professions, owning and operating ones own business, sales careers, are all roads to the economic summit, albeit not without a tricky tum or two. from the auto, probably on the first roll, but the vehicle continued to roll down the embankment.

Others have funds automatically deposited into one type of savat ings receptical or another payday time. By this process special highway we can travel to financial success that many never realize is attainable First, let us introduce you to an unfamiliar creature in many households Its called thrift And basically it means not spending not only what you dont have, but not all of what you do have, as well. No small task, by the way. IN A NATION committed to consumerism through such ingenious creations as credit cards and installment purchases, thrift has become not only a stranger but has never even been introduced m many family budgets. Ben Franklin described the practice of thrift best when he said, spend one penny every day less than thy cleaj: gains. This practice, once initiated, can be one of the most wealthful steps ever undertaken, irrespective of income. IF PRACTICED persistently it can make modest savings swell to Gargantuan easy spending Some buy U S. proportions and open the door to a whole range of additional wealth generating forces. Saving money can be accomplished any number of ways but most of the techniques have to be both resourceful and ingenious, so great is the temptation to spend m our society. SOME HAVE money au Treasury automatically on payday. But the vehicle for savings dollars is not merely as important as the discipline to effect the savings and the determination to leave the funds untouched. thrift, please note carefully the following quotation: I WILL acquaint all with the true secret of money catching - the certain way to fill empty pockets and how to always keep them full. Two simple rules well observed will do the business. First, let honesty and toil be thy constant companions. Second, spend one penny every day less than thy clear gains. Then shall thy purses begin to thrive, thy creditors will never insult thee, nor want oppress, nor hunger bite, nor nakedness freeze thee The whole hemisphere will shine brighter and pleasure spring up in every corner of thy heart Now hereby embrace these rules and be happy -- - WE HAVE known Willy-Nill- y spendthrifts who finally got bitten by the thrift bug and converted their spending techniques into savings habits. For example, the monthly car payment which has to be made - or the car is repossessed - was converted into a monthly saving habit so that when the next car was purchased the funds were abundantly available, and then some The experience was so satisfactory, as a matter of fact, the savings habit went on and on. Ftssra ONCE THE thrift and saving habit is initiated and maintained, wealth ac- dollars generate new income and these in turn earn still more dollars. Its called compounding and its one of the very special roads to wealth. Of course, the accumulated can be savings wealth redeployed in any number of conservative or aggressive investment programs And the results, even if only a The Doxey PTA SUNSET invites the public to join them from p m on Oct. 31 at Doxey School in Sunset for fun, games, hot dogs, drinks, 5-- 8 homemade baked goods sale and childrens book sales 12 Action Boxing Bouts Women Wrestling Match LAYTON ARMORY 34 Golden Ave. NOVEMBER Refreshments Ringside $3.50 Sponsored by L-- G & 11- -8 p.m. Prize Drawing Gen. $2.00 & Assoc.
