P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资

Mr. Beecher advised young men to get in debt if they could to a small amount in the purchase of land, in the country districts. "If a young man," he says, "will only get in debt for some land and then get married, these two things will keep him straight, or nothing will." This may be safe to a limited extent, but getting in debt for what you eat and drink and wear is to be avoided. Some families have a foolish habit of getting credit at "the stores," and thus frequently purchase many things which might have been dispensed with.

白话

比彻先生建议年轻人,如果可能的话,在乡下买地时欠一点小债。他说:“年轻人只要为买地欠债,然后结婚,这两件事就能让他走正道,否则什么也救不了他。”在有限范围内,这或许安全,但为了吃、喝、穿而欠债必须避免。有些家庭有在“商店”赊账的愚蠢习惯,结果常常买许多本可省掉的东西。核心是:投资性负债(如买地)可谨慎使用,消费性负债(日常开销)应坚决避免。因为前者可能带来资产和责任感,后者只会累积无谓支出和利息。做法:区分借钱用途,只对能增值或必要的大事负债,日常消费量入为出。
