According to father abraham, what temptations were likely to lead his contemporaries astray

Poor Richard's Almanack (sometimes Almanac) was a yearly almanac published by Benjamin Franklin, who adopted the pseudonym of "Poor Richard" or "Richard Saunders" for this purpose. The publication appeared continually from 1732 to 1758. It sold exceptionally well for a pamphlet published in the American colonies; print runs reached 10,000 per year.

Franklin, the American inventor, statesman, and publisher, achieved success with Poor Richard's Almanack. Almanacks were very popular books in colonial America, offering a mixture of seasonal weather forecasts, practical household hints, puzzles, and other amusements. Poor Richard's Almanack was also popular for its extensive use of wordplay, and some of the witty phrases coined in the work survive in the contemporary American vernacular. Benjamin Franklin first published the Almanac under the name of "Richard Saunders" in 1732 and continued for 25 years

Hope this helps. :)

Pride, idleness and folly.

Explanation:

To answer this question it is necessary to read Benjamin Franklin (Father Abraham) The Way to Wealth.

On a certain part of the essay, father Abraham starts advising and He mentions taxes and then talks about some heavier taxes able to ruin people.

He mentions pride, idleness, and folly. Those three are heavier than the taxes the Government charges. Some taxes Father Abraham says are even worse than the pecuniary ones the Government insists on charging.

Father Abraham continues to say that, our idleness cost twice, idleness three times more and folly four times more than regular taxes. If somebody reckons all that is calculated with sloth, idle amusements, and the diseases that come from these three temptations.
