Don't Drink the Water.

5. When the well's dry, they know the worth of water.

- When everything is gone, and you have nothing, you realize what is really important.

- When I lose sight of what is important in my life and I get my priorities messed up, I stop myself and reassess my life. When my grades started to drop because of my excessive work hours, I quit my job. I realized that by keeping my grades up I have a better chance of getting into a good college and being able to make a good living for myself later in life. I didn't need my minimum wage job to be able to buy excess clothing for instant gratification.

-I completely agree with Benjamin Franklin. I can personally relate to this quote, and I believe that saving and being smart with money benefits the economy, benefits your wallet, and benefits your life. Keeping your priorities straight and being frugal with your budget can help everyone, both instantly and in the long run.
