The richest man in Babylon. J. Cleeson

“The richest man in Babylon” is a world bestseller, which has been occupied by the upper lines in the lists of the best financial management books for a hundred years.

Simple and wise parables that have come to us on clay tablets through the sands of time and dust of centuries will reveal the seven main laws of handling money that any person who strives for financial success should know.

Babylon has become the richest city in the ancient world thanks to its inhabitants. They knew the price of money. By practicing reasonable financial principles, they saved money, saved it and forced them to bring even more money. Today, the same laws are managed by money as six thousand years ago, when the glory of Babylon rattled.

These laws are simple:

- systematically deposit money (“Spend nine-tenths from your earnings, And always put off one tenth ”).

- to control the costs and reasonably plan the budget (“ How will the donkey load itself? Sen and straw, and not with gold ingots ”).

- invest ("Make each coin to work").

- calculate the risks ("The greatest mistake is to entrust the purchase of jewelry to the mason").

- buy on credit, not rent real estate ("A person is pleasant to eat figs from his trees").

- Ensure yourself in old age (“Take care in advance about your old age and about the protection of your family”). Mastery, behave so that you yourself can respect yourself. ”).

Money will always have enough money with the one who understands the simple rules by which they work. If you want to increase your condition, provide yourself with a stable income and teach your children to competently dispose of finances, apply these rules, and let them lead you to prosperity and wealth.
