“I see the neighbors have a new car, Bill," said MoBill Smith the other day to friend husband. “1 wish we would get one; of course I want a home of our own, but couldn't that wait a little while? And we could use the money we’ve saved for the down payment on a car.” “Righto, we can and will. Let’s go down and look them over. We can just get a cheap car, and it’ll soon be pud for, and then we can get our money together for a house." They did. They didn’t

ELEVEN YEARS LATER: “I’m sick and tired of paying rent and moving every time the landlord gets a notion he wants more money or a house is sold. It seems that those cars we’ve been buying every two years and the rent we are paying have kept me so broke that I’ve never been able to gel together enough money to build a home of our own." mused Bill Smith. "Yes." said his wife, “if we had done like the Junes, we could have paid for our cars from Uu. ptohts on our house. Well, the boys are growing up and in a few years they’ll be able to help some, and we’ll get our house then.”

“Hon. I WOULD like a car," said Jack Jones to his wife one day recently, “But I do want to let our little nest-egg grow until we have enough for the down payment on a home of our own. Then we can be independent, tell the world to go hang, and live like kings. The car will come later.” “Yes, Jack,” said helpful friend wife. “! think you’re right.
