If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him. -Francis Bacon 1561-1626, British Philosopher, Essayist, Statesman-

money bag - This is a picture of a bag of money.
Money is my servant. I like to think of myself as a money master. I always find ways to come up with money when needed.
