P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资
Men and women accustomed to gratify every whim and caprice, will find it hard, at first, to cut down their various unnecessary expenses, and will feel it a great self-denial to live in a smaller house than they have been accustomed to, with less expensive furniture, less company, less costly clothing, fewer servants, a less number of balls, parties, theater-goings, carriage-ridings, pleasure excursions, cigar-smokings, liquor-drinkings, and other extravagances; but, after all, if they will try the plan of laying by a "nest-egg," or, in other words, a small sum of money, at interest or judiciously invested in land, they will be surprised at the pleasure to be derived from constantly adding to their little "pile," as well as from all the economical habits which are engendered by this course.

白话
习惯满足每个心血来潮的人,一开始会很难削减各种不必要的开支,会觉得住比原来小的房子、用更便宜的家具、少请客、少买贵衣服、少雇仆人、少参加舞会派对、少看戏、少坐马车、少出游、少抽烟喝酒等等,是很大的自我克制。但说到底,如果他们试试“存个蛋”的办法,也就是存一小笔钱,放利息或明智地投资土地,他们会惊讶地发现,不断往自己的“小堆”上加钱,以及这种习惯带来的节俭,会带来多大的快乐。核心是:削减开支一开始难受,但存钱和节俭的习惯会带来意想不到的满足感。
上下文
巴纳姆在书中提倡“巢蛋”储蓄法,即先存一小笔钱作为起点,再逐步积累。
今日一问
你愿意从今天开始,每月先存一小笔“巢蛋”吗?
