About This Quote

The relationship between ethics and thrift can be summed up in one sentence. It is wrong to save money at the expense of others. Period. Saving money at the expense of others is wrong and we all know it. This statement comes from the words of Benjamin Franklin who said, “He that saves his money and spends it before he dies will die and go to hell, where he will have nothing to do but wallow in misery and burn like an oyster.” If you want to spend your life with happiness and contentment, make sure you spend your money on those things that make you happy.
