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

It is all very well to say; "I have got trusted for sixty days, and if I don't have the money the creditor will think nothing about it." There is no class of people in the world, who have such good memories as creditors. When the sixty days run out, you will have to pay. If you do not pay, you will break your promise, and probably resort to a falsehood. You may make some excuse or get in debt elsewhere to pay it, but that only involves you the deeper.

白话

有人会说:“我获得了六十天的赊账期,如果到时没钱,债主也不会太在意。”但世上记性最好的人就是债主。六十天一到,你必须付款。如果不付,你就违背承诺,很可能还要撒谎。你可能找借口或向别处借钱来还,但这只会让你陷得更深。核心是:不要低估债权人的记忆和债务的累积效应。原因在于信用承诺具有约束力,违约会损害信誉并引发连锁反应。做法:赊账前确保到期有还款能力,按时履约;若遇困难,尽早沟通而非逃避。
