2814. Do not spend all your money, be it much or little. Do not let the beauty of this thing, and the cheapness of that, tempt you to buy unnecessary articles.
2815. Buy merely enough to get along with at first. It is only by experience that you can tell what will be the wants of your family.
2816. If you spend all your money, you will find you have purchased many things you do not want, and have no means left to get many things which you do want.
2817. If you have enough, and more than enough, to get every thing suitable to your situation, do not think you must spend it all, merely because you happen to have it.
2818. Begin humbly. As riches increase, it is easy and pleasant to increase in comforts; but it is always painful and inconvenient to decrease. After all, these things are viewed in their proper light by the truly judicious and respectable.
