Publisher's Synopsis
The Margin of Happiness: The Reward of Thrift is a book written by Thetta Quay Franks and first published in 1917. The book focuses on the importance of thrift and how it can lead to a happier life. Franks argues that by living within one's means and saving money, individuals can create a margin of happiness that allows them to enjoy life without the burden of debt or financial stress. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of thrift and its benefits. Franks discusses the importance of budgeting and saving, as well as the dangers of overspending and debt. She also provides practical advice on how to live a frugal lifestyle, including tips on shopping, cooking, and entertainment. Throughout the book, Franks emphasizes the idea that happiness is not necessarily tied to wealth or material possessions. Instead, she argues that true happiness comes from living a simple, contented life and being able to enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Overall, The Margin of Happiness: The Reward of Thrift is a timeless guide to living a more fulfilling and financially responsible life. It offers practical advice and insights that are just as relevant today as they were over a century ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
