Sayings to get us through tough times

2 comments July 23rd, 2008

This New York Times opinion piece talks about the culture of debt in America. To sum it up, we need to go back to a Culture of Thrift to right our economic struggles.

Anywho, the current high gas prices and mortgage and lending problems, fueled by our propensity to spend, could force us back into thrifty-thinking, or so the writing goes. You know the saying: “People don’t change when they see the light. They change when they feel the heat.”

What other sayings can help guide us out of our struggles? “Waste not, want not.” “A penny saved is a penny earned.” What else?
