If I* was only to do over
" ■ ^again I’d have more
sense, is the cry of many a
m*>n who has passed the larg
er earning period of his life in
having a '‘good time’’ instead
of making preparation for old
age comforts. However, life
is a one-way trail—it is “Do it
now” or regrets later. It is
just as easy for you to place a
share of your earnings in this
bank and allow the to accumu
late as it is to spend them-and
starts you on the road to
financial independence.
