Iron Law of Economic Survival

Iron Law of Economic Survival works like gravity — indifferent, reliable, and entirely unimpressed by your excuses.

What makes this law useful is that it is predictive. If you know it, you can see tomorrow morning's mistake tonight. That is as close to prophecy as ordinary life allows.

A rupee saved loudly impresses people for a day. A rupee invested quietly feeds them for years. The bazaar respects the first; life rewards the second.

Money is a good clerk and a terrible master; the arrangement is entirely up to us. A word is a lamp. This one is now yours to carry.
