“The saving man becomes the free man.”
“Nothing seems expensive on credit.”
Those two proverbs — the first Chinese, the second Czech — are among Michelle Singletary’s favorite quotes about money.
Singletary will share her own views about personal finances at a luncheon of Women Philanthropists for KU at noon on Friday, Sept. 12, at the Adams Alumni Center on the Lawrence campus. The cost is $40 per person and seating is limited. For more information, call Dawn Thompson at 800-330-5832.
Singletary is a nationally syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, a regular contributor to National Public Radio’s Day to Day and host of her own television show, Singletary Says, on TV One.
