Good book with a solid message. I found it to be slightly repetitive and dragged out at times, hence the rating.

All principles found in this book are still being used up to date by our finance specialist and it is worth reading if you want to learn about personal finance.

"The Richest Man in Babylon" is a book that dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon.

It's a good read teaching basic principles to earn money and pay off debt. It's easy to understand and should be just as easy to follow. Mainly you'll want to save 10% of your income and eventually invest that income in an endeavor that will make more money. It talks of a man that had to lose his investment multiple times before he finally got the hang of it. Later another man who ended up in quite a bit of debt turned to crime, became enslaved, and eventually escaped and found his five rules for working with gold, with which he repaid his debtors and became free once again. It's not a bad read, and I recommend it.

A nice book to read right before you start earning. It’s an old book that discusses about even older stories. It is the wisdom of old and experienced passed down or shall I say “discovered in form of buried inscription made of clay”. Depending on how avid of a reader you are or how many books you have explored in self-help/financial advice genre, this book will introduce you to the fundamentals of handling your income or engrave in your minds a new perspective for the knowledge you already possessed.

This is a great book for one who's looking to learn beyond what world is teaching right now, it gives you deep insight on the fundamental laws of wealth creation. Which when applied over a long course can tremendously transform a life.

A nice fairy tale for the budding capitalist. Good habits told in lengthy parables, quite naive but I suppose it simplifies the message.
