You'll finish it in a day, but it will stay with you

The Richest Man in Babylon

By George Clason

Several of my favorite books are short fable type stories that are packed with golden nuggets of information. Things that most of us have heard before but may have forgotten or never really focused on. In the book, The Richest Man in Babylon, you are very gently reminded of dozens of rules or proverbs and words of wisdom such as:
"men of action are favored by the goddess of good luck"
"better a little caution than a great regret"
"where the determination is, the way can be found"

Then there are the:

SEVEN CURES FOR A LEAN PURSE

and the

FIVE LAWS OF GOLD

All of which are delightfully spelled out in a story that takes place in an ancient time and place that is almost magical and forces you to finish the 144 pages in a day or so, but stays with you for weeks or months afterwards.

Price is right.

The book arrived as promised and it is as good as new. I feel very confident in ordering from this seller again.

Good Advice is Worth Repeating

The Richest Man In Babylon is a good guide for anyone whether they want to amass wealth or just live comfortably.
According to the book it doesn't matter what your income is, anyone can save money, all it takes is the proper perspective. This book gives you way to look at money that many of us have been taught, but may have forgotten. As other reviewers pointed out, this is basic, common sense information, but good advice bears repeating. Each of my children have a copy of this book and began a savings program before age 16.
I think the biggest point the book makes is, it does not matter what your income level is, anyone can save 10% of their income if they really think it is important enough to do, and that small amount on a weekly basis is hardly missed at the time, while growing over time to be a substantial amount. As Albert Einstein pointed out,there is nothing more powerful than compound interest and that is what you get by saving just 10% of all of your income. I highly recomend this book for kids old enough to read on up to anyone who needs to be reminded of the simple beauty of good advice.
