BIRDSEYE VIEW OF THE BUSINESS SECTION OF MANTENO, ILL. There Are No Skyscrapers in Manteno, But There is Lots of Room, Something That is Lacking in Many Large Towns
LIMIT YOUR SPENDING
and save the balance-that is a better way to get a start financially than to limit your saving and spend the balance. With capital-reserved funds-you are ready for business opportunities which surely come to you. Remember, it is
NOT YOUR SAVING
alone that will make you independent. Your money must be in a safe place and must work for you.
