Saving money through small borrowed capital plan
A New York magazine letter by James B. Forgan outlines a wealth-building method for young men: start with $1,000 to buy a first-class bond, estimate yearly expenses, then borrow an equal amount to invest in another bond. Repay in monthly installments from salary, ending the year with the bond paid in full and ready to repeat on a larger scale if salary grows. Emphasizes frugality and saving pennies as the path to wealth.
