Take care of the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves proverb
If you are careful about spending small amounts of money, you'll never use up all the money you got or soon accumulate plenty of money.
I never tell someone to keep the change even a very small amount. Because I believe that take care of the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.
A: Come on! It's just a one-dollar bill. If I were you, I wouldn't bother picking it up. B: Take care of the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves, you know!
This proverb is first recorded in the mid-18th century.
Do you see anything wrong?
If you fall for someone's trick the first time then they are at fault.
Are you going to mess with me again? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
