When I told him in a general way that he ought to save that .money 1 made no impression on him.' But when I explained to him how $2,500 invested at. six per, .cent, -and com pounded annually, would double in twelve years, he begaftfo wake up. At 87 he would ttave $5000. at M $10.0(10. and at A 120,000. The20- 000 at 61 would be yielding him $L-year-a little more than his present salary. ' I had aroused his financial imagi nation to the first real work it had over done so far as ( know. He hung onto that money and invested it s,t six per cent 1 told Urn that when he is CI and ha that $20,000 maybe somebody else wiU give him $2,500, and if so to go out and spend k if he wants to. Money spent at 61 by a man of some means Is not like money spent at 25 by a young man of no weans.
