DOING WITHOUT
In Killingly, Connecticut there was a farmer who would go to town every Saturday night. He would gaze into the store windows and scan the many gadgets, novelties, and the various new products for man, home, car, and boat. “Now I don’t need that”, he would say. “And over there is something I will never use. I can get along very nicely without them. “It was also his habit to jot down the prices of these gadgets, knickknacks, and novelties. Then on Monday morning, he would go down to the bank and deposit the price of these worthless trinkets. In some thirty years, he had banked over $30,000…from stuff that he didn’t really require. He left most of the money to equip libraries and state parks.
