What reading level is On Money book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How much more some people spend on mere eating and drink- On Money 29 ing than others. How this is true, not only of navvies, and pitmen, and artisans, but of persons of all ranks and circumstances. How apt such persons are to complain of their poverty, and that they never have money for anything else. How easily such luxuries come to be looked upon as the indispensable necessaries of life. How the simpler and more frugal people, who would equally like them, but go without them, because other t...hings seem to come first, never get credit for their thriftiness but are assumed not to mind about them. How little any one gets for his money spent this way, except dyspepsia and a habit of self-indulgence. How quite the worst and silliest way of spend- ing money is to eat and drink it.
But our household expenditure means other possibilities of extrava- gance than those of food. Costly changes in furniture, not for being worn out, but for being old-fashioned ; 30 On Money what is called "stylish living, " so often the pretentious vulgarity of pseudo gentle-people, and so miserably and deservedly failing in procuring the consideration it spends so much to buy ; an expensive way of entertain- ing, which gratifies nobody but the tradesmen who supply the goods ; servants simply to minister to lazi- ness : and incessant going to and fro to this place or that, merely because home is dull : these are items of ex- pense which swell the house-bills of many a quiet family, with little in return but constant mortification, and the pressure of debt.
