The Fifty-cent Strategy

When I was about 18 years old and still attending high school, my father came to me with a newspaper in his hand; and, he

told me that he wanted me to read an article that he had found in either Ann Landers or Dear Abby.

In the article, a grown man is talking about a time that his own father approached him when he was 4 or 5 years old.

Father: “I am going to give you an allowance of 50 cents a week. Out of that 50 cents, you have to save ½. But, you can spend the other

½ anyway that you like. If you can show me that you saved $10.00, then, I will increase your allowance by 50 cents a week. Out of that

new amount, you have to save ½. But, you can spend the other ½ anyway that you like. If you can show me…”

At the age of nine years old, the youngster and his father went to the bank. And, at he age of nine years old, the son had

saved $9,000 in the bank.

The Key To Your Perpetual Money Machine

Priority Note: In the book The Richest Man In Babylon by George S. Clason, the gold lender is talking to a tablet maker.

The gold lender says: “I found the road to wealth when I decided that a part of all I earned was mine to keep; and, so will

you. It should be not less than a tenth no matter how little that you earn. It can be as much more as you can afford.

PAY YOURSELF FIRST.”

Let’s suppose that you save $2,000 in 2021, $2,000 in 2022, and $2,000 in 2023.
