Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.

Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.
Proverbs 12:11
Love of money is a state of heart and state of mind. The acquisition of wealth is merely a direction of travel.
