"The Third Cure"
"Make Your Gold Multiply"
( Chapter 3 of The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason paraphrased)

Check it, Ladies! Your purse is fattening! (with cash) You have disciplined yourself to save one-tenth of all your earnings. You have controlled your spending to protect your growing treasure. Next we will consider means to put your stash of cash to work and to increase for you. "Gold in a purse is gratifying to own and satisfies a miserly soul but earns nothing." The "gold", or cash, we may keep from our earnings is just the start. The earnings it will make will build our fortunes." (So spoke Prlinkbiz on the third day to her class.)
My first investment was unfortunate, because I lost it all...My first profitable investment was a loan I made to a girl named Betty, a purse maker....She was an honorable woman (a chick with some integrity!). Her borrowing she would repay, together with a nice bit of interest, as she sold her purses (not Fendi- but nice!).
Each time I loaned to her I loaned back also the interest she paid to me. So, not only did my capital increase, but it's earnings likewise increased. It was so very gratifying to have these sums return to my fabulous fattening Fendi purse.
I tell you ladies, a woman's wealth is not in the cash she carries in her purse; it is in the income she builds, the money stream (passive income) that continually flows into her purse and keeps it always bulging...
From my humble earnings I had gotten a whole lot of of "golden" cabana boys, each laboring and earning more "gold". As they labored for me, so their children also labored (not real kids ladies-nobody call CPS!), and their children's children until the income from their combined efforts was impressive....
This, then, my fabulous friends, is the third cure for a lean Fendi purse: to put your cash to work for you that it may produce more of the same (think rabbits here) and help bring you passive income, a stream of wealth that will flow continually into your purse.
