Thrifty’s Not Nifty Anymore
There was a time when being thrifty
Was a virtue; now it’s a crime
Where once I thought was really nifty
My kids say don’t squeeze a dime.
Now my cost-cutting is “penny pinching”,
My bargain shopping “so uncool!”
I guess at my age that’s not important
But I hoped to teach my kids that rule
Of a penny saved is a penny earned
And money doesn’t grow on trees
It’s just so easy to get burned
With taxes, tolls and fees
Put aside a nest egg for needy times.
Life’s not all milk and honey.
You’ve never lived through lean times,
But rest assured, they’re coming.
