  • Who Said “A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned”?

    "A penny saved is a penny earned" is a quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, however, he didn’t coin it. In his 1737 Poor Richard’s Almanac, Franklin delivered the line: “A penny saved is two pence clear.” And later, in the 1758 almanac, he wrote a version closer to the saying we know: "A penny saved is a penny got.” He never used the word "earned."

    While Benjamin Franklin is known for his many inspirational quotes, he is often attributed to saying something he didn't. So, who said, “A penny saved is a penny earned”? Did anyone?
