Meaning of “A penny here, and a dollar there, placed…”
Small repeated savings are presented as meaningful because accumulation depends on consistency over time rather than only on occasional large financial gains.
Where does it come from?
The Art of Money Getting, opening economy section; Project Gutenberg #8581. The passage reflects nineteenth-century saving-at-interest advice and is not a promised rate of return.
