From Dan Galvin's Thought For The Day mailing list:
Resolve not to be poor: whatever you
have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy
to human happiness; it certainly destroys
liberty, and it makes some virtues
impracticable, and others extremely
difficult.

Now I'm going to have Thurston Howell's voice stuck in my head until I fall asleep tonight...
Yeah, that is exactly the song I was thinking of.
It is a bummer that it isn't up on Youtube. I've found it once or twice, but it gets removed.
