vii.
Here
you
are
all
got
together
to
this
sale
of
fineries
and
nick-nacks.
You
call
them
goods;
but
if
you
do
not
take
care
they
will
prove
evils
to
some
of
you.
You
expect
they
will
be
sold
cheap,
and
perhaps
they
may,
for
less
than
they
cost;
but
if
you
have
no
occasion
for
them
they
must
be
dear
to
you.
viii.
Remember
what
Poor
Richard
says,
"Buy
what
thou
hast
no
need
of,
and
ere
long
thou
shalt
sell
thy
necessaries."
ix.
"At
a
great
pennyworth,
pause
awhile."
He
means,
perhaps,
that
the
cheapness
is
apparent
only,
and
not
real;
or
the
bargain,
by
straightening
thee
in
thy
business,
may
do
thee
more
harm
than
good;
for
in
another
place
he
says,
"Many
have
been
ruined
by
buying
good
pennyworths."
x.
"It
is
foolish
to
lay
out
money
in
the
purchase
of
repentance;"
and
yet
this
folly
is
practised
every
day
at
auctions
for
want
of
minding
the
Almanack.

Cash
and
Credit.
If
you
would
get
rich,
don't
deal
in
bill
books.
Credit
is
the
"Tempter
in
a
new
shape."
Buy
goods
on
trust,
and
you
will
purchase
a
thousand
articles
that
cash
would
never
have
dreamed
of.
A
shilling
in
the
hand
looks
larger
than
ten
shillings
seen
through
the
perspective
of
a
three
months'
bill.
Cash
is
practical,
while
credit
takes
horribly
to
taste
and
romance.
Let
cash
buy
a
dinner,
and
you
will
have
a
beef-steak
flanked
with
onions.
Send
credit
to
market,
and
he
will
return
with
eight
pairs
of
woodcocks
and
a
peck
of
mushrooms.
Credit
believes
in
diamond
pins
and
champagne
suppers.
Cash
is
more
easily
satisfied.
Give
him
three
meals
a
day,
and
he
doesn't
care
much
if
two
of
them
are
made
up
of
roasted
potatoes
and
a
little
salt.
Cash
is
a
good
adviser,
while
credit
is
a
good
fellow
to
be
on
visiting
terms
with.
If
you
want
double
chins
and
contentment,
do
business
with
cash.
