     %SAVING TECHNICAL PROBLEM ATTITUDE AFFIRMATION 900917

     The  practice of putting some of our available  money
away in net savings is both a technical procedure to solve
a  technical problem,  and an affirmation of an  important
attitude.  To separate the two aspects of the behavior and
to view saving as purely a technical procedure apart  from
the  affirmation  of the essential  attitude,   will  most
likely   lead  to  a  failure  to  affirm  that  essential
attitude,   which  in  turn will lead to a failure  to  be
successful  in guiding the technical procedure wisely.  To
separate the two aspects, and to offer verbal affirmations
of  the essential attitude without any embodiment of  them
in  behavior,   is bound to lead to games of  mutual  self
deception  in  which  there  is no  wisdom.   To  maintain
integrity in fiscal behavior it may be essential to affirm
the  essential  attitude  of fiscal prudence  through  the
regular practice of saving.

     The    regular  practice  of  net  saving  cannot  be
maintained  in the face of an addiction to spending.   The
regular  practice  of  saving  and  the  essential  fiscal
attitude  which it affirms serve as defenses  against  the
progressive  development  of the features of an  addictive
personality which will lead to disintegration. Slippage of
the  practice  of  saving can serve as  an  early  warning
against slipping into overt addictive behavior.  The  wise
people will head the warning.
