Show CASH OR WHAT-HAVE-YOU? Nobody gets very far in the way of thrift these days, or lays up a very pretentious savings account until he leams that it costs just as much to have anything charged as it does to pay cash for it. It may hurt to take the money right out of your pocket and buy a suit of clothes or a hat. Having it charged only relieves the "pain" temporarily; and, the chances are that next month will find it no easier for you to pay than it is right now. The man who finds it difficult to make both ends meet should try the "cash-and-carry" system awhile and see if that makes it easier to stick to his budget. Laying down the cash may not seem any more sensible than having it charged, but just try paying cashj and see if there is any difference. There's two sides to the question, and in your case the same thing may not work that works for the other fellow. Pay cash for a month ana Me for yourself. n I |
