Summary: Must read
Review: This book is a must read for anyone interested in being better off financially. It's also a must read for anyone interested in teaching their children how to handle their money. I decided to read it after listening to Jim Rohn, who recommends it in his video "How to Have the Best Year Ever". If you've ever read "Rich Dad Poor Dad", this is similar, but written in a story book format, like Og Mandino's "The Greatest Salesmen in the World". I liked it because of it's message, and the delivery method. It's also a nice short read, as it's only 144 pages. This book definitly has a place in every library.

Summary: The "Who Moved My Cheese?" of personal finance
Review: Hailed as a classic, "The Richest Man in Babylon" is the "Who Moved My Cheese?" of personal finance and wealth.The reader is drawn into a series of Babylonian parables, following various characters on the road to wealth. Don't be put off by the "biblical" lingo (this may be a turn *on* for some). Takes a few minutes to get used to the language, but you'll suddenly find yourself caught up in a series of "a-ha's!" The book is filled with common sense advice, but the beauty is that it's presented in such a way that you're vaulted into a different way of thinking about accumulating wealth (similar to the style of "Who Moved My Cheese?", only this book was originally published in 1926!) Coming in at only 144 pages, "The Richest Man in Babylon" is an easy 1-2 hour read and will forever change the way you view personal finance. Especially recommended for those who can't seem to shake debt and need a new mindset. But the solid foundations contained within are a must-read for *anyone* interested in the road to wealth, whether you're a novice or an expert. And one more selling point: it's CHEAP!

Summary: Popular Classic on Financial Responsibility
Review: A collection of loosely related parables on financial responsibility - this book has become a modern classic. In two or three different ways it reiterates the importance of financial discipline, and charts a simple way to achieve it in the LONG run. If you are looking for data and analysis, Millionaire Next Door is the book for you. But if you want your advice in the form of stories which are simple, puwerful and self-evident, this is a very good book.

Summary: How to become riches
Review: Although this is a small book. It contains the wisdom of the oldies. Saving is actually the powerful tool to become riches. People may laugh at you about this cause they believe only books on finance and investment is worth to read. But this book really help me to change my mindset. I think those people have trouble in finance are usually spending too much. After read through the book, I get rid of the credit card debt immediately and start to save money each month. Then I start to accumulate the money then. Therefore, I suggest you to read the book at least 1 time.

Summary: The Richest Man in Babylon
Review: Title: The Richest Man in Babylon
ISBN: 045116520
Author: George S. Clason Babylon, lying near Euphrates river, was once a flourishing kingdom. The Babylonians had great achievements in agriculture and construction and they knew secrets of becoming a rich. You may think the secrets are cliche or even common sense, like spending-wise, investing in premises, don't lend money to unexperienced proprietors etc.. But take an example, like investing in premises, there're at least two benefit to us. First, for the hard-workers, they'll have revenue from rent; secondly, for the less hard-workers, this involuntary kind of saving is definitely benefitial to them. People in modern society spend too much valuable time in day-dreaming to be a millioniare while doing nothing pratical and forget about hard-working and saving, two very important characteristics of being a rich. Yet saving time and improve own knowledge are important too, on my view, accumulating capital, seeking advice from experienced investors and investing in items that we know well is the rule of success. So we must not spend than we earned, too eager to upgrade our living standards and having a shortsighted financial outlook of our own country.

Summary: Changed my life
Review: .......which is a pretty strong statement, but it's so very true. I recommend everybody read this little gem of a book that's filled with truth and is essential for any "type A" personality. It's a cute biblical story that is made up of serious life-lessons aimed towards properity.........NOT just money, but anything pertaining to self; ie: time, love, health, savings, possessions, income, etc. I used to own and run 3 retail stores with subcontractors, sales clerks, bookkeepers, service routes, product education seminars, on, and on and on. After reading this book, I realized that my time and health is as valuable as the money brought in, which a lot of times was paid out for overhead. I still own the same company, but I've geared WAY DOWN. It was a hard decision to make and I prayed real hard about what and how to do. We actually now live in a bigger house, enjoy each other more, and are a lot happier about life.......Amazing what reading a tiny little book can do for a life! The point of this story is to work smart and to put yourself first-----Oh, I still hate to say that-----because that's how you'll be more prosperous and more helpful to your family, friends, and all others. It's a short, quick book and I highly recommend reading it.

Summary: The Richest Man in Babylon
Review: This book was orignally given to me as a gift when I was a child by my father. My father told me that that within it's pages were the secrets that had made him a wealthy man. As a child I read the book and tossed it to the side. Later, my father died at the age of 52, and left my mother with enough money invested that she never needed to work. It took me a while, but I finally picked up the book again. I've started to apply it's simple rules to my life and have found that even though they seem too simple to make much of an impact... they do work! Now I am giving copies of this book to anyone who I think will read and benefit from it... just like my father did.
