This applies with equal force to saving money. Save systematically. Put away a stated minimum amount every payday, or every so often, and the rapid accumulation will surprise you. On our books are many successful people who save regularly—in good times and bad—and most of them started with only a dollar. You can do it, too. We pay 5 per cent on savings.
