Before embarking, on the sojourn of marriage
some 'serious thought should be put into°the
practical financial aspects of a shared life.
Too often couples think ,that Toney matters,
will easily fall into place after the marriage
vows have been spoken. And• all too often it
is these very matters which destroy othervitise
good relationships. '
Our society is one. which is veryconcernedwith
...monetary matters and as a consequence we
are all touched by a concern for making, dis-
tributing and spending.money well.

like dishwashers and washing machines. If
compar_isons are made, the cost of such ~an
•item, is generally substantially lessi when cash
is'paid for the item.
Interest rates, when` accumulated& over three
years, for instance, can amount to 18 percent
`on the premium cost'"of the item over three
years—enough money to buy, a lot of food.
