10 lessons about money from Scrooge McDuck
Scrooge McDuck was born in Scottish Glasgow, but financial difficulties forced him to move to the United States. There he became the most influential in the country. In one of the series, Scrooge calls the president of America (perhaps in a new series he will call a duck-president named Donald). According to Karl Barks (author of the character), the condition of a duck is one multiplied by nine obvvatumatillions six hundred twenty-three dollars sixty-two cents. Analysts Forbes believe that this is about $ 65.4 billion. For comparison, the state of Bill Gates, the richest man on earth - $ 75 billion.
Here are some tips given by Scrooge McDuck in the cartoon
Look for an opportunity to make money on everything
"Where you see an old barn, I see a million-dollar deal!" Said Scrooge. He was cunning and quick, not missing the opportunity to earn almost any business. Once he took 10 cents from each of his nephews for financial advice.
Buy things that will last a long time
- Damn it! Now they do not sew good suits, 30-40 years old - and they are rushing, - once the drake was indignant. Despite his wealth, he preferred to buy quality things that can be used for decades.
Do not save, but invest
"Money can not be postponed, they need to be invested," he advised his nephews. Scrooge owned the airline, the bank, the oil company, food production and other assets.
Find your lucky symbol
As a child, Scrooge earned his first money on cleaning dirty boots. For this he received 10 cents. The very coin he keeps all his life, believing that it brings good luck and wealth. At the same time he considers:
- Money will help more when there is no luck than luck, when there is no money.
Work your head, not your hands
This is the main motto of Scrooge McDuck. It is not necessary to prove it. You need to work your head.
Greedy
It's possible that this is bad advice, but it works.
"Darling, of course, I wanted to buy you a diamond ring, but the jewelry was closed, so I bought you yogurt," Scrooge said when he wanted to make his beloved pleasant.
If you follow the advice, then remember that money will save, but you can fall in the eyes of others: "Why do we need an uncle in a gold coat, we want to have an uncle with a heart of gold," his nephews Dilly, Willie and Billy once said.
Be gambling
Business is like gambling, in which everyone competes.
"I'll eat your hat, as soon as you have more money than I have!" "Said Donald Flinthart to Glomgold, a dishonest cartoon hero who hired the Havbs Brothers to build trouble.
Also, Scrooge was passionate about buying shares, where you can both earn and lose.
- I can not sleep, I can not eat, I can not think, the stock price fell by 95%! Cried the drake.
Buy gold
Everyone remembers that Scrooge's favorite occupation was bathing in gold coins, which filled the bank vault. He spoke of gold like this:
- For a small piece of gold you can get very, very much money ... Haha! And for playing checkers it is very suitable.
Do not skimp on the joys
It's simple:
- Of course, it is necessary to save money, but where does my chocolate come from?
Find free
Scrooge actively used the free capabilities of other ducks. Here's what he said:
"I am the richest duck on earth, because I do not spend my money."
- There is no better in life than a feast than three servings of a filling ... especially when free!
