Worth a Re-read!

If you could sum up The Richest Man in Babylon in three words, what would they be?

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Richest Man in Babylon?

young man's conversation with old man going into the city.

Any additional comments?

This book is well done and well narrated. I really liked the parable style writing that the author used to articulate his points. These are timeless principles that can be implemented for financial success or at least recovering from a bad financial position. The only thing I think may be a little difficult for the listener to get past is the "old school" language used (i.e. how art thou...). Overall excellent book worth a re-read!
