Read the passage and answer the question
based on it. (Question 11 to 15) A fact that
draws our attention is that, according to his
position in life, an extravagant man is either
admired or loathed. A successful business
man does nothing to increase his popularity
by being prudent with his money. A person
who is wealthy is expected to lead a luxurious
life and to be lavish with his hospitality. If he is
not so, he is considered mean, and his
reputation in business may even suffer in
consequence. The paradox remains that he
had not been careful with his money in the
first place; he would never have achieved his
present wealth. Among the low income
group, a different set of values exists. The
young clerk, who makes his wife a present of
a new dress when he has not paid his house
rent, is condemned as extravagant.
Carefulness with money to the point of
meanness is applauded as a virtue. Nothing in
his life is considered more worthy than
paying his bills. The ideal wife for such a man
separates her housekeeping money into
joyless little piles - so much for rent, for food,
for the children's shoes, she is able to face
the milkman with equanimity every month
satisfied with her economizing ways, and
never knows the guilt of buying something
she can't really afford As for myself, I fall
neither of these categories. If I have money
to spare I can be extravagant, but when, as is
usually the case, I am hard up and then I am
the meanest man imaginable.
