A quotation from C. C. Colton

A prodigal starts with ten thousand pounds, and dies worth nothing; a miser starts with nothing, and does worth ten thousand pounds. It has been asked which has had the best of it? I should presume the prodigal; he has spent a fortune — but the miser has only left one; — he has lived rich, to die poor; the miser has lived poor, to die rich; and if the prodigal quits life in debt to others, the miser quits it, still deeper in debt to himself.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 2, § 131 (1822)

“#EssexPolice have given Reform UK leader Nigel Farage a free pass on his alleged #overspending in his #campaign in #Clacton in the 2024 general #election. No details have been released about the scale of the overspending. The police have declared that too much time has elapsed for the case to be pursued”

A quotation from Joseph Addison

The man who will live above his present circumstances is in great danger of living in a little time much beneath them; or as the Italian proverb runs, “The man who lives by hope, will die by hunger.”

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-10-09), The Spectator, No. 191

"And that [namely, to check my accounts] I am loth to do, for fear I have spent too much, and I delay [these checks] the rather that I may pay for my pictures [...]"

I may be mis-reading this, but I think our Sam is spending money he doesn't have --- and he deliberately tries to avoid confirmation of that fact. The route to unhappiness; I know the feeling.
