Quote by Ben Johnson

The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.

The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have non

Summary

This quote implies that both the covetous and prodigal individuals face limitations when it comes to having money. The covetous person, consumed by greed and an intense desire to possess wealth, never truly feels satisfied and never accumulates enough money to fulfill their desires. On the other hand, the prodigal person, who spends money recklessly and without consideration, will quickly deplete their funds, leaving them without any money in a short period of time. Ultimately, this quote suggests that neither extreme approach to money management leads to financial stability or fulfillment.
