How Can We Keep The Money In The Black Community?
The first step the black people that are wage-earners should take is to spend only when necessary and according to their income. They should save as much of their salaries as possible -- weekly, biweekly or monthly. We, as wage earners, should always plan to save something from whatever we are paid. Do not become extravagant spenders like the rich, who own the country and everything in it. It is sheer ignorance for us to try to compete in luxury with the owners. If we can save just five cents a day from our wages, 25 cents a week, $1 a month -- that would mean $52 a year we could save in a national savings bank. We number around 22 million and approximately five million are wage-earners. If five million wage-earners saved $52 a year, this would mean $260 million saved out of our wages. At the rate of 25 cents per week, it would be painless. But the black people do not have that in a national bank. Let us see how much money we spend unnecessarily: Suppose we spent the same amount (25 cents a week) in tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, chewing or snuff dipping). But, of course, you will spend far more than that. Some people spend 25 cents per day for cigarettes alone. Let us say we spent the same amount (25 cents a week) on beer. Again the actual amount would be more. This means $260 million a year spent for beer and the same spent for whiskey, wine, cigarettes and cigars. We also spend unnecessarily on sports. You average the same on sports ($260 million). Another $260 million is spent in gambling -- averaging five cents a day, 25 cents a week. This is just the minimum. If five million wage earners saved just $47 per year, they could save over 200 million dollars a year. And this figure would be far greater if we included extravagant buying of clothes, furniture and cars. All of this wasteful spending should be checked and you will see within a one-year period that you have not saved one billion dollars, but several billions. (5 hrs ago | post #5)
