Expense

An expense or expenditure is an outflow of money Quotes ... investors must never forget that their expenses are Wall Street’s income. Warren Buffett, Chairman's Letter - 2020 Berkshire Hathaway February 27, 2021 https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2020ltr.pdf I worship freedom; I abhor restraint, trouble, dependence. As long as the money in my purse lasts, it assures my independence; it relieves me of the trouble of finding expedients to replenish it, a necessity which has always inspired me with dread; but the fear of seeing it exhausted makes me hoard it carefully. The money which a man possesses is the instrument of freedom.; that which we eagerly pursue is the instrument of slavery. Therefore I hold fast to that which I have, and desire nothing. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions (Wordsworth: 1996), p. 35. The question is not put how far extends His piety, but what he yearly spends; Quick, to the business; how he lives and eats; How largely gives; how splendidly he treats; How many thousand acres feed his sheep; What are his rents; what servants does he keep? The account is soon cast up; the judges rate Our credit in the court by our estate. Juvenal, Satire III, J. Dryden, trans. See also Frugality Luxury Necessity External links Category:Economics
