Money is like chicken

Money is like chicken
To enjoy a chicken don’t kill it.

Instead feed it and it will lay eggs. When it does, don’t eat all the eggs laid. Eat 1 or 2..

let the remaining eggs hatch into chicks then feed them too.
When they mature,  eat 1 chicken and repeat the processes and you will have both eggs and chicken to eat.

But no matter how hungry you are don’t eat the initial chicken before it starts laying eggs.
If you eat the initial chicken you will be full today but hungry tomorrow and for ever.

Wait for the chicken to lay eggs. That initial wait may make you hungry today, but tomorrow and for ever you will be full.
It’s just a principle of life take or leave it the choice is yours.
