A Penny Saved is (NOT) a Penny Earned Ben Franklin was right to say that "A penny saved is a penny earned." This was true until 1913. The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution passed in 1913 states: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census of enumeration." Now, with federal, state, and local income taxes, your money doesn't go as far as it did in Ben Franklin's day. About a third of your earned money goes to income taxes. To make a dollar of spendable money, you need to earn $1.50. The first 50¢ is removed by income taxes leaving only $1.00 for spending. So, today, Ben would have to say: "A dollar saved is a dollar and a half earned." You can see how budgeting, saving, and being frugal is much more important than it used to be.
