It's my money isnt it? - I earned it.

1 Jan 1945

IT'S MY MONEY ISN'T IT? -I EARNED IT Of course! And you've every right to cash your savings and spend them whenever you choose. But you can't have rights without responsibilities, you know. I've heard that before somewhere. But what's it got to do with my savings? A lot. If we spend before goods become plentiful we shall not get such good value for our money, or have such a wide choice as we shall later on. Oh ! You mean that it will pay us better to wait? Exactly. We should remember, too, that if we spend now we may well be making demands on labour and materials urgently needed for reconstruction.
