Financial advice from a farther to a son”
In the play “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare, a farther gives his son some financial advice. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be”, he says. He is trying to tell his son that he should never 1___________ money from anyone because it will make it difficult for him to manage his finances. Likewise he should never give a financial 2_______________ to a friend because he will probably never see the money again, and will probably lose his friend as well.
The play was written over four hundred years ago, but today many parents would give similar advice to their children. Imagine the conversation they would have now:
Son: Right dad, I’m off to university now.
Father: All right son, but let me give you some sound financial advice before you go.
Son: Oh, come on dad…
Father: Now listen, this is important. The first thing you should do is to make sure you balance your 3______________- the money you receive from me – and your 4______________- the money you spend. If you spend too much, you will end up with an 5_____________ at the bank. Don’t expect me to pay it for you.
Son: But it’s difficult. Things are so expensive, and the 6___________ goes up all the time. 7_____________ is running at about 10%.
Father: I know, but you should try to 8____________. Avoid expensive shops and restaurants. Also, put your money in a good 9______________ They offer a much higher rate of 10___________than banks. Also, avoid buying things 11____________.
Son: Why?
Father: Because shops charge you an 12____________ amount of money to buy things over a period of time. It’s much better to 13_________________ a little bit of money each week so that you see something you want, you can buy it outright. Try to wait for the sales, when shops offer huge 14_________ and you can pick up a 15______________. And try to get a 16____________.
