wealth and status will be further delayed

fiction
Edward w Pritchard


Put your hand up proudly when the Teacher calls for deposits to the US  treasury savings
stamps and bonds program in the classroom at grade school . You have your dollar to buy postal treasury stamps to put in your book today; you are properly planning and saving for the future. Your habits and prospects are good, your motivations are clean.

Fifty years later wear your occasionally polished nearly new black wing tips with your best suit to the office today; Monday's are the big planning meeting. Your not invited formally, your not on the official list but you may be called at the last minute if a seat is available.

Success, wealth and status are officially approaching. If only the usual culprits to continued prosperity can be held in abeyance.

Bear markets, temporary layoffs at the job, lurking poor health and coming inflation are always around every corner.

We are proud of you, your habits and prospects are good, your motivations are clean. I can't help accumulate and gather wealth and status but I can admire sincere effort. We will light a candle in the window to your heath, wealth, and prosperity. People always know when someone is sincerely trying.
