There are two ways of squandering money that makes a man kick himself for years afterward; one is the signing of a security note as an accommodation and to let your neighbor know what a good fellow you are. It is an easy habit to get into, and a very costly one to get shut of.

Better give a written mortgage to the money loaner for Becurity for the money you need than to put upon yourself an unwritten but nevertheless binding obligation by asking your neighbor to go your security. If he does so you cannot in reason refuse a like favor. You may go broke and wrong him and his family or he may do so and wrong you. The other way is to buy something with a note of a stranger. If it is worth while, get the money of a neighbor or the bank, aud have your obligations in the hands of a friend and know just what it means.
