“Preparation is a pile of cash when opportunity knocks.” -the Wealthy Gardener
LESSON 5-5 REMINDER: SAVE URGENTLY!
If luck is when opportunity meets preparation, then preparation is a pile of cash when opportunity knocks. And a pile of cash is the result of saving urgently in the passing days.
Saving money urgently means saving money NOW. Saving now is the way to wealth, while saving someday is the way to scarcity.
Why save money with a sense of urgency?
Without urgency to save, you risk spending money arbitrarily and then wondering where the money goes. Urgency is vital because an empty bank account causes hopelessness, vulnerability, and dependence. Worse, a lack of savings will cause smart people to fear losing thankless jobs.
Money in the bank changes life quite a bit. Saving money provides a cushion against catastrophe. It is the power to absorb hard punches. It requires a discipline that, when mastered, qualifies one for richer opportunities.
“If you wish to get rich, save what you get,” advised Brigham Young. “A fool can earn money; but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage.”
If we don’t save, we’ll stay broke no matter how much we earn. And if saving money is not urgent, it just won’t get done.
“Save money and money will save you,” reads a Jamaican proverb. Saving now is the way to wealth, while saving someday is the way to scarcity.

I have taken challenges every year to read 5 books in Spanish (since I am from Colombia), and 5 books in English in a year 2019 was a year of reading in this beautiful book “Th Wealty Gardener” it took me time to read it and Learn to apply it in my daily life and I recommend it to all my friends because this has been one of the best books on the market. Would it be possible to have this book in Spanish?
I will consider myself an absolute failure (I believe in full accountability) if it is not one day offered in Spanish, and every other language! So yes, trust me, it will be done.
