Is a penny saved a penny earned?

A penny saved is better than a penny earned. Save a penny, you've got a penny -- woot. Earn a penny, you end up with .85 (or less) of a penny after taxes.

I believe the original phrase used to be A penny saved is a penny 'gained'. In which case kork13 you won't have to worry about losing your 15 cents.

It's more efficient and easier to save than it is to earn in most cases.

Saving comes automatically by inaction.

Earning takes time and effort.
