塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The letter was received with general approbation. The committee of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes gave their cordial sanction to it; and Penny Banks were established in connection with nearly every Mechanics' Institute in Yorkshire. Mr. Sikes personally conducted one at Huddersfield; and down to the present time, it has received and repaid about thirty thousand pounds. In fact, the working people of Huddersfield, doubtless owing in a great measure to the practical example of Mr. Sikes,--have become most provident and thrifty,--the deposits in their savings bank having increased from seventy-four thousand pounds in 1850, to three hundred and thirty thousand pounds in 1874.

白话
这封信得到广泛赞同,约克郡机械学院联盟委员会也大力支持,于是几乎每所机械学院都附设了便士银行。西克斯先生亲自在哈德斯菲尔德办了一家,到当时已吸收并偿还约三万英镑。哈德斯菲尔德的工人因此变得非常节俭,储蓄银行存款从1850年的七万四千英镑增至1874年的三十三万英镑。这说明:一个可行的储蓄渠道加上身边人的示范,能实实在在改变普通人的理财习惯。想推动节俭,不必空讲道理,先提供方便、低门槛的存钱方式,再让身边可信的人带头做给大家看。
