Rating: Summary: This book should be required reading for everybody! Review: Since childhood, our parents have told us we must save our money, but usually with little instruction on how to do so. This book shows you the way. It is THE definitive work on how to save money, get out of debt, make your money grow, and secure your future. It is written in a simple and exciting style which anybody can understand. The time-proven ideas in this book WORK! All one needs is dicipline, patience, and a willingness to follow the instructions. I have given away over 150 copies of this book to family, friends, and co-workers... it is probably the most valuable gift one can give. Enjoy and prosper!

Rating: Summary: I recommend this book to everyone who needs money to live. Review: That this story is framed in an ancient setting proves the timelessness of the authors advice and it's practicality. I valued not only what to do and how but why I must. I wish I had read it when I was much younger. That's why I've made it a "must read" for my children.
Rating: Summary: Keep it on your desk Review: I believe there was no bad reviews on this book! Because, it is awesome! It is something very wise, very exciting, very condence, very useful. I would not approve buying it to all your friends and relatives, but give it to everyone who turns you for an advice in financial matters. I think, it is even more powerful than Millionaire Next Door...
Rating: Summary: Over-rated bologna book Review: Many of the ideas in this book seem very difficult to apply. This book would be good for a child to learn about business. It's very basic reading and knowledge.Don't waste your money!
Rating: Summary: Arabian Nights Meet Peter Lynch & the reader is wealthier! Review: The Richest Man in Babylon is on my must-read list right after the Bible. The most PRACTICAL, warm, enlightening, motivating money book I've ever read. Got me off my duff and into the realities of economics. Yes, I've got money jingling in my pockets that I don't have to spend! GET THIS BOOK NOW!!! Best money you'll spend all year. I scavenge used book stores to find old copies to pass on to friends in the financial dumps. Great book! Don't let the small price fool you, this is the best financial advice you'll get. My question to all is "Is this the only book CLASON wrote???" I want more. I re-read this book once every 4-6 months for a refresher! This book and Joe Dominguez's "Your Money or Your Life" book have been the most inspiring & helpful financial books I've ever read. Sound enthusiatic? YOU BETCHA. Buy the book!
Rating: Summary: Money in the Bank! Review: Why is the best advice always the simplest? Clason tells several stories that describe the accumulation of wealth, the acquisition of freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. If you find yourself wondering why you don't have more money put away by now, READ THIS BOOK! Buy a book for a niece, nephew, godchild, or friend. It's never too late to start using the philosophy, but sooner is better. And you shouldn't notice an impact in your lifestyle. What could be better than that?
Rating: Summary: A Must Read! Review: The principals discussed in this book are the foundation for financial freedom and success. It may seem difficult at first to implement the principals, but after putting them into place... Your peace of mind is pay back enough!
Rating: Summary: A Book To Read Aload To Your Children ! Review: I read this book after graduating from the University of Colorado @ Boulder with a degree in finance. This one book was basically what I thought I was going to college to learn - and didn't. If I had read this book as a child, I would have been able to pay my own way through college! Sould you wish to become wealthy, add to this book Clifton Fadiman's "The Lifetime Reading Plan" - 3rd edition and his "The New Lifetime Reading Plan" - 4th edition. Don't forget the companion book to these - Adler & Van Doren's "How To Read A Book." It is said that you cannot "take it with you." What I learn as I earn, not only will I "take it with me", but I, like the authors of these books, intend to pass it on !"
