塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
There are also exceptional towns and villages in Lancashire where large sums of money have been saved by the operatives for buying or building comfortable cottage dwellings. Last year Padiham saved about fifteen thousand pounds for this purpose, although its population is only about 8,000. Burnley has also been very successful. The Building Society there has 6,600 investors, who saved last year £160,000 or an average of twenty-four pounds for each investor. The members consist principally of mill operatives, miners, mechanics, engineers, carpenters, stonemasons, and labourers. They also include women, both married and unmarried. Our informant states that "great numbers of the working classes have purchased houses in which to live. They have likewise bought houses as a means of investment. The building society has assisted in hundreds of these cases, by advancing money on mortgage,--such mortgages being repaid by easy instalments."

白话
兰开夏郡有些村镇的工人靠存钱买房或盖舒适小屋,攒下了大笔钱。去年帕迪汉姆人口才八千左右,却为此存了一万五千英镑;伯恩利也很成功,当地建房互助会有六千六百名投资者,一年存了十六万英镑,平均每人二十四英镑。会员主要是纺织工、矿工、机械工、工程师、木匠、石匠和普通劳工,也有已婚和未婚的女性。提供消息的人说,大量工薪阶层买下了自住房,也买房作投资;建房互助会在其中数百例中帮忙,用抵押贷款垫钱,再让借款人轻松分期还清。

今日一问
我所在的城市或单位,有没有类似互助储蓄、合作购房的渠道,我能不能开始了解?
