1. Be a saver,

not a consumer.

2. Think before you spend.

Ask yourself: Can't I do

without this purchase?

3. Make a budget.

Stick to it.

4. Pool your money with

family, colleagues,

church members. Start

an investment club.

5. Spend your money

at home.

6. Start your own business.

7. Spend your money with

those who support you

and yours, regardless

of color, race, religion

or creed.

8. Support one another,

business-wise and

otherwise. That's wise.

9: Be charitable. Support

those causes important

to our community.

10. Be proud of your heritage.

Let your money ways

show you care.

-- Ben Johnson
