Must read
A gem of a book. The book might, at first thought, give you the idea of having engraved in it , crucial and rare secrets to managing finances in life. But the reality as is that âthe truth is always in front of us in plain sight, we just choose to avoid it.â We all might already be aware of the simple things which our parents and elders have been telling us from years, we casually choose to ignore.So I would definitely suggest buying this one, but donât just breeze through the book, read one chapter at a time or few pages and try and relate them to your own life finances.

A very informative self help book
How often do we come across books that we know in our very bone is true? Well, this book, “The Richest Man in Babylon,” is one such book. Remember when our elders taught us the importance of savings? Most people never took it seriously, well I am also among them. But now I understand. It is not only about saving money and keeping it aside. It is about making your money earn money for you. The money children’s children earn money for you. That is how you grow your fortune.In the book, the author lays down seven principles as a cure for a lean purse. (Which I can personally bank on). I want to share it with every one of you.People have indeed closed mindsets around money. They believe that money can only be with a few people, and only they can be rich. But it is not. Money can be with everyone; everyone can become rich. It is just an exchange.You will have to read the book to understand the whole ecosystem of how money travels from one purse to another and can make everyone rich like the protagonist of our story Bansir did.

Must read for every youngster for financial well being
Good book for youngsters who finished highschool and on way to take responsibilities of adulthood. Wish I have read and gained this wisdom when I was 20.10:70:20:ratio (10% for savings 70% for expenses for 20% for debt) is the golden rule for financial prosperity. Gold begets gold or money begets money…save, invest and creat secondary income source.

Excelente livro sobre disciplina e persistência com foco em acúmulo patrimonial e liberdade financeira. Linguagem antiga que atrasa um pouco a interpretação, mas totalmente aplicado à realidade atual.

This book has been a game-changer for me in managing my earnings. Despite its use of old English vocabulary like “thee” and “thou,” I found the lessons surprisingly easy to understand and apply. One incident that resonated deeply with me was the journey of Arkad’s son, Nomasir. Nomasir initially failed to follow the laws of gold but didn’t give up. He restarted his journey by applying the rules step by step, and over time, he succeeded. After years of perseverance, he returned home, a wealthier and wiser man. This story highlighted for me the importance of resilience and sticking to sound financial principles even when things get tough.The book emphasizes a straightforward yet powerful rule: “What you earn is yours to keep.” It stresses the importance of saving at least 10% of your earnings. It also provided practical advice on managing debts, suggesting that you donât need to repay everything all at once but can make consistent payments while managing your income effectively. Overall, this book has imparted timeless financial wisdom that remains relevant today, teaching me to save diligently, manage debts wisely, and never give up on my financial goals.
