Poor lessons

Poor advised, go to school, get good grades, find a safe secure job, and work hard and save money. He would also quote other famous lines such as, neither a borrower nor a lender be and a penny saved is a penny earned or if you cannot afford something, do not buy it. Always pay cash.

Poor life would have been pretty good if he had followed his own advice. But, like many people, he said what the thoughts were the right words, but he did not do the right things. He borrowed money to buy his house and his car. He never invested because he always said, investing is risky. Instead he tried to save money, but each time there was an emergency, he would take the money out of his savings. He borrowed money for things that made him poor and he refused to borrow money for things that might have made him rich. These subtle differences make a lot of differences make a lot to difference in his life. Because of his lifelong ways of thinking and handling money, he could not afford to retire at age sixty five. It also explains why he had to work up until the day he was too ill with cancer to work anymore. He worked hard all his life and for the last six months of his life, he fought for his life in a cancer ward. He was a good, hardworking man, who spent his life working hard, trying to avoid debt and trying to save money. And those were the lessons about life and money he tried to pass on to everybody.
