塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 330

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

Then take the returns for the entire United Kingdom. Out of every ten thousand depositors in the Post Office Savings Banks, we find that the domestic servants are again the first; next, the women, married and single; next, persons of "no occupation" and "occupations not given;" next, the artizans, and after them, the labourers, miners, tradesmen, soldiers and sailors, clerks, milliners and dressmakers, professional men, and public officials, in the order stated. We must, however, regard the institution as still too young to have fully taken root. We believe that the living generation must pass away before the full fruits of the Post Office Savings Banks can be gathered in.

白话

再看整个联合王国的数据:邮政储蓄银行每一万名储户中,家庭佣人排第一,其次是已婚和未婚女性,再次是“无职业”和“职业未注明”的人,然后是工匠,之后依次是劳工、矿工、商人、士兵水手、职员、女帽裁缝、专业人士和公职人员。作者认为这个机构还太年轻,尚未扎根,要等这一代人过去才能看到全部成果。这告诉我们:改变储蓄习惯是长期工程,不能指望一两年见效;看数据时要留意谁在存、谁没存,才能找到真正需要帮助的人。

上下文

你对自己财务习惯的改变,是否给了足够长的时间,而不是几个月就放弃?
