Monetary Model

Famous quotes containing the words monetary and/or model:

“In our time, the curse is monetary illiteracy, just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries.”

“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
