The author of this book, Clason, a famous American financial management guru, borrows short stories from the richest countries in Babylon to teach how to get rid of poverty and become rich, and introduces the financial management wisdom throughout ancient and modern times. The book tells the story of the rich man Akat, who was ordered by the King of Babylon to teach every citizen the twelve golden rules of financial management. For example, a slave escaped from poverty by following the "law of repaying debts by 10/20" and became a camel merchant; a rich boy who was ordered to leave home by his father followed the "law of money begets money" and returned home from poverty to a rich life. The wisdom of the Babylonian rich is a good method for allocating money that everyone can use, and it is a guiding light for confused modern people.
Reader comments
As the book says, Fan Li was dedicated, so he was very successful both as an official and in business. I think this is very inspiring to me, because when you are in love, you also need to focus on each other's feelings, so that the love can be more beautiful and lasting~
Unlike many successful and inspirational books, this book tells the story of how the wise and wealthy businessmen of ancient Babylon experienced hardships, how they changed their minds, how they listened to opinions, and how they changed their lives against fate. I made study notes after each chapter. In short, if you want to gain wealth, you must first understand and avoid wrong thoughts, decisions and behaviors, secondly learn the correct methods of experienced wise people and continuously optimize them, and finally implement the above two points unswervingly. The road is simple, but it is always easier said than done.
Through fascinating stories, the secrets of wealth are gradually revealed. If ordinary people want to get rich, they must first have a strong spirit and formulate a reasonable financial plan. For example, the family financial plan is implemented throughout the book:
1. One-tenth of the income must be saved;
2. Seven-tenths of the income should be used as family living expenses;
3. When you are in debt, make a debt repayment plan and use two-tenths of your income to repay the debt.
Great book, very good and very rewarding.
Reading is the first step, how to put it into practice is the last word
For me, a moonlight tribe member, encountering this book is my greatest luck in recent times.
