I Remember Papa

~ What Papa Taught Me ~ Save, don't spend The good times will end Extravagance, for fools Frugality rules A penny saved A penny earned A dollar wasted Independence spurned... Inflation, deflation Whatever the situation Cash is King Credit ~ bling

I wish I had learned this " Cash is King Credit ~ bling" I finally did, but it took a long time!

To soldier up, be prepared: Inflation, deflation Whatever the situation…and “whatever” it is!

Good advice couplets and yet the banks keep pushing credit and trying to do away with cash! :)

Well, the banks don't make any money on cash -- unlike their huge profits on credit transactions. Thanks for the visit, Susan. No banker's hours here. Open 24/6. Closed for the Sabbath. :) gw
