🌞 Briefly about the book itself.

It helps us explore aspects of personal success for each of us. Recipes for escape from poverty and lack of money can become the basis for understanding financial laws. Like the laws of nature, the laws of money have been around for a long time. And if your goal is to accumulate money, then the author, Samuel George Clayson, is ready to offer to penetrate the mystery of money in order to accumulate capital, save it and make it work for profit. The pages of the book will take you to Ancient Babylon — the cradle of basic financial laws that remain relevant to this day.

Author George Clayson was born in 1874. He was always concerned about the financial literacy of the population, so in 1926 he published a series of pamphlets written in the style of Babylonian parables. These pamphlets were distributed to banks and insurance companies, and then combined into the book "the richest man in Babylon", which was published in the same year. To date, more than 2 million copies have been sold worldwide.

💎 Briefly about the laws of wealth from the book:


Law 1. Start filling your wallet.

Save at least a tithe of your income. If you can save more, it's great. You may say that you are already poor, but you will be surprised that saving this 10% will not affect your standard of living in any way.

Law 2. Track your expenses.

The more you earn, the more you want to spend. But don't confuse immediate expenses with whims. Make a budget and write down a list of necessary expenses. When you have a desire to spend, think about whether this desire really needs to be quenched. And in no case do not spend more than 90% of your earnings. "Save more next month" is a road to nowhere.

Law 3. Multiply your fortune.

Money should not be a dead weight in your wallet. Wealth is not an accumulated fortune, but an income that is constantly growing. Put money at least on Deposit.

Law 4. Protect your fortune so that you don't lose it.

When you invest money, the principal amount should not be affected. Avoid too risky trades and promises of quick earnings. Be sure to consult with experts and think of ways to leave the "sinking ship".

Law 5. Housing can be a profitable investment.

The rental fee is sometimes the same as the loan payment for it. With the only difference that in 10 years you will not own the housing. And although Klayson did not live in modern Ukraine with constant financial crises, dreams of their own homes still warm the soul of most people.

The law 6. Provide income for the future.

Once there were no pensions at all, but now they do not guarantee a comfortable old age. Think about yourself and your family in advance, what will happen to you in 10, 20, 30 years. Insurance and deposits in land and real estate will be useful here.

The law 7. Learn to earn more.

Develop your abilities, learn new skills, and gain wisdom. Look for new markets, ask for advice, and invest in your training.

Advice if you are in debt.

If you not only live in zero, but also owe other people, in this case, too, there is a Babylonian story. On behalf of Dabasir, the camel trader, Clayson offers the following solution to the problem: first, make a list of all who you owe money to and exactly what amount. Divide your income into ten equal parts, spend seven out of ten on urgent needs and small joys, so that you can still enjoy life, and not sink into depression. Distribute another 20% monthly to pay off the debt. And tithe, as in rule # 1, save to increase your income later.

🧲The same Board with the "Golden rules" of attracting money:

1) Gold is drawn to those who save a tenth of their earnings, ensuring the future of themselves and their family.
2) Gold works in full force for the wise owner, who puts it profitably into the business.
3) Gold needs protection, and therefore prefers caution and advice from wise people.
4) Gold does not like to be forced to work in a field where a person is not knowledgeable.
5) Gold eludes those who invest it in adventurous or ill-conceived projects, embodying romantic dreams of wealth.

Be sure to read this book. You won't regret it!

PS: in 2010, when I first read this book, I was so impressed with its wisdom and prostate that I decided to buy 10 copies and give them to my friends and family. And what was my surprise when 10 years later I saw that their life had not only not changed, but also became harder and poorer! Now, if someone tells me that they want money or to be rich, I offer them the first step - to save for themselves for 45 days, first of all, 100 rubles! It's so easy! And when a person doesn't respond to me after 45 days, or says that they didn't learn from it, or comes up with any excuses why they didn't do it, I understand the power of the action and what they really want.

💸 I wish you health, wisdom, wealth and prosperity!

Question to those who have read this book. And what would you choose-a bag of gold (ten million rubles) or a clay tablet with wise and proven laws of money (the book "the richest man in Babylon")?
