Your piggy bank has a hole in it. You just can't see it.
Meet Maya. She sells lemonade all summer: fifty dollars!
But in September, her jar is empty.
A candy here. A sticker there. A soda on Friday.
Each one felt like nothing.
In The Way to Wealth, back in 1758, Benjamin Franklin warned about this.
He wrote: "A small leak will sink a great ship."
Earning is half the game. Keeping is the other half.
People can work hard their whole life... and end up with nothing.
Franklin's trick: when something is cheap, pause. Do you really need it?
If no, it's not a bargain. It's a leak.
Your move: this week, write down every small thing you buy. Then find your biggest leak... and plug it.
