The richest man in Babylon is a series of financial parables. These stories are set in ancient Babylon and relate the story of a Babylonian regular guy who used some basic financial sense and built up a great deal of wealth.

This book has opened eyes for way more people than you might think , it is easy to read it , everything is put into relatively small chapters that bring up important lessons. It is actually my favorite Financial Book that I have red so far. It teaches you what to make with the money you have and the money you will make , you don`t need to have a lot of money to become rich all you need is to know how to make your money work for you .

You have to put your money to work , they do not need rest , they can work while you sleep if you know what to do with them.

As said in the book you need to make the money your personal slaves . Being a money slave is the worst thing you can do.

If you invest your money well, your money will simply make more money. Again, a very simple and obvious rule, but one that many people never get to because they didn’t follow the first rule.

3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling. This rul
