Classic

This book was recommended by our financial advisor after visiting for a while with a lot of questions. Of course he offered a lot of insight and is helping us understand what to invest in but this book is a classic, the language in it can be a bit distracting at times but the parables and stories are definitely entertaining and helpful.

For those who wish to become rich

This book is a good story to teach one how to save and eventually become well off or even rich. It is full of wise strategies which would enable one to succeed even in today’s world. It takes place back in ancient times, but is still relevant today. I highly recommend it!!

This book holds the keys to success

Simple principles that teach you to free yourself from debts and being a slave to unwanted appetites. Either you are the master or the slave. They say we are free. Debt with out purpose is enslavement. We wonder looking for the next thing to make us happy. Happiness does not come from with out but by being the master over what is with in our selves. Read and be free.

Instant classic

This book is filled with anecdotes that are written in A tone fitting for a Greek dialogue. The stories compiled from the clay tablets of Babylon tell a story as old as man. Upon reading you should expect a new appreciation of our modern banking system, retirement fund plan, and the stock market more generally. But more than anything this books is just fun to read, all of the lessons to become wealthy are told through camp fire tales with characters that anyone can relate to. I can’t recommend this book enough.

great classic book!

Teaches you basic financial sense. I thought I'd hate it, but once you get used to the way it's narrated, it's quite engaging.
