The Secret of Wealth is buying once for all. When we buy, we should buy a thing which will last; buy something good even though it costs considerably more than a similar item which is perishable. This consists of building a house that will last for generations, buying furniture that will last a lifetime, selecting clothing that is good for more than a fleeting season, choosing carpets that can be used by our children's children and then, having bought these good things, it is advisable that we take care of them.
