The Richest Man In Babylon

The Richest Man in Babylon is a series of stories about how the wealthy of Babylon handled money and how some became wealthy by following their advice. This book was first copy written in 1926 but the simple financial principles used in these stories still apply today and always will in a free market economy.

The principles are easy and straightforward. Reduced to their simplest form they include save 10%, live on 70% and use the remaining 20% to pay off your debts. After debts are paid off you can really save.

Sound money management is not a new philosophy. Spending more than we earn and buying with credit leads us to financial ruin today exactly the same way it did thousands of years ago in Babylon. How interesting it is that the information in a book written in 1926 about times thousands of years ago could be needed more than ever in the 21st century.

This is a good book to read if you are in debt and need help or if you would simply enjoy reading interesting tales about sound money management.
