This book used basic principles and stories to teach us the keys to wealth building and maintenance. These were nothing new, but they were neglected knowledge we failed to practice and remember. This book served as a reminder of the age old sayings passed down through generations ' a penny saved is a penny earned'.
It showcase the importance of forming a saving habit with every earning and a method to manage debt payments. It showed work as the true secret to making money and having you money work for as the true way to increase your wealth.
Though written close to a century ago, this book still holds true and relevant.

“The truth is often simplistic” , or something along those lines was written in this book. That phrase really defines this book as its writings are in no way secretive but they are disciplined. I think that’s where a lot of people lose touch with the goals of the book, they are not disciplined.
For those that may not already know the books teachings (save 10% of your income, invest your savings, only invest them wisely, etc), this book should be taught in high schools as its financial teachings are that important and needed in modern times.

With a new passion for personal finance, I feel like this book is a rite of passage. While the wisdom is certainly timeless, it’s a pretty long-winded and repetitive read. In all fairness, I never expected a collection of financial lessons written in biblical language to be riveting.
I will say this book revealed a huge flaw in my plan to become debt free: I wasn’t saving! It reminded me of the importance of paying yourself first. So is it practical knowledge? Absolutely. But you can get it from a single page summary of the book if you want to skip the read.
3.5 stars. I didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Just one of those classics to check off your list. Would make a great gift for graduates.

Good financial advice but found the way it was written slightly cheesy being set in Babylon. Still helpful and glad I read though.
Not bad
A lot of wealth principles from ancient Babylon, not the biblical one you might have read about. Could use a modern translation but I enjoyed it.

We should have been forced to read this book in high school! Many life lessons I would have thrived on throughout the years.
El hombre más rico de Babilonia:
Es un buen libro, lo debo admitir su importancia se concentra en los primeros capítulos donde habla acerca de la historia de Arkad y el prestamista Algamish, es una historia interesante describe los conceptos básicos del manejo del dinero
