Frugally Invested in Banks?

October 13th, 2008  | Tags: , ,

Have you watched Mary Poppins? Do you remember the bank scene?

Now let’s see how the banks image has changed since 1964  when the film was made.

In the film Michael is encouraged to put his tuppence into a bank. He was told back then…

If you invest your tuppence

Wisely in the bank

Safe and sound.

Soon that tuppence safely invested in the bank will compound.

And you’ll achieve that sense of conquest.

As your affluence expands in the hands of the directors

Who invest as propriety demands.

Tuppence prudently thriftily, frugally Invested in theDawes, Tomes Mousley, Grubbs, Fidelity Fiduciary Bank….

Now the key words and phrases of that are as follows

Prudently

Frugally

Thriftily

Safely Invested

Safe and Sound

Invest wisely

Oh how banks have changed!

They now have more than tuppence, and will now use my money so that they can lend it back with interest added.

I echo what young Michael said when the bank manager took his tuppence…

Give it back! Gimme back my money!
