Get Rich Slowly

Proverbs 13:11:

11 Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.

It's interesting when Biblical truths show up in popular culture and scientific research. Whether it's the sad result of Ted Williams' rise to fame or the likelihood of bankruptcy's after winning the lottery, money gained quickly can leave just as fast. For most people, financial security is more behavior than actual accounting. That's why a little bit gained over time trains us how to spend/save it.
