NICKEL

Baseball great Yogi Berra once said: 'A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.'  

The great theologians at Mad Magazine wrote: 'The only reason a great many American families don't own an elephant is that they've never been offered an elephant for a dollar down and easy weekly payments.'


Dave Ramsey:  'Debt is normal.  Be weird.'

One of the wisest messages I've ever read was given by John Wesley and published in the mid-18th century.  It had three points:

1 - Gain all you can.
Work hard - use your God-given common sense - be honorable in your tasks.

2 - Save all you can.
Don't waste anything or be indulgent on things that are frivolous.

3 - Give all you can.
Remember that God owns it all and not you; you're the steward.

'There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune; go there with a large one.'  --- Jack Yelton

And be blessed.
