RE: How Saving Money on Toilet Paper Turned me into a Top Performing Investor...

in #money8 years ago

Yeah: that's how to start, tho' it's more of a grounding in personal finance. FYI, the finance writer Andrew Tobias pushed this theme 'way back when: buy the sales, buy in bulk, save. Since he wrote in the days when the marginal tax rate for a reasonably affluent person was around 50%, he called it "A Penny Saved Is Two Pennies Earned."

Sort:  

For sure, was only meant as the most basic grounding. I'll check him out :)

You'll find a lot that's familiar there.

Incidentally, the art of buying the sales is one aspect of prepping which hardly shows up on the prepper blogs. Prolly because it's not glamourous :)

Maybe a preppers mentality is inherently on a potential present catastrophe. Thinking far into the future (within our current way of life) may be too much to ask, on average...

That's prolly it,...
