> There is a Polish saying: ‘kto rachuje i oszczędza, nie zajrzy mu w oczy nędza’ (‘he who works and saves, destitution doesn’t threaten’) I don't think this is translated accurately. "Rachuje" is an old word for "calculate" and I think the saying should be translated like this: "if you calculate your expenses and start saving, poverty/destitution will not threaten you"
