The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

3.0

My takeaways

Save 10% income before spending
Follow experts not fools into investment
Don’t invest in someone who is not prepared
Don’t invest in friends where their ill fortune will bite back on you.
Conviction and determination in measurable wealth goals are more valuable than pure aspiration
Continuous learning in one’s craft will pay back manifold
Take advantage of compound saving
Invest your accumulated wealth to procure a tidy sum for retirement
It is better to pay back late debts than runaway from them. Build up back your reputation and be grateful rather than ashamed of friends and vendors who have leant you money. Often is the case they are lenient.
Hard work is key to a good life. Working hard will prosper new opportunities in the future.
