Summary: THE ONLY BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED TO BECOME WEALTHY
Review: I like to think that a book is only as good as its' usefulness or enjoyment to me. This book has both of these aspects in generous amounts. I have read it at least four times and highlighted the most meaningful parts to me. The work as a whole is simple, short, and entertaining. If you only have this book, and follow its' laws faithfully, your financial situation will improve greatly in a short amount of time with a minimal amount of sacrifice and extra work. I can say this from applying its' principles for just a little over two years: I have already accumulated a years' worth of income and have a sound estate upon which to build my future, I do not worry about money anymore, and can relax comfortably knowing that each passing day I grow more wealthy. This book is the keystone of my financial library and estate. I highly recommend that every person who can read should own a copy. Major debt seems nothing when compared to the stories of slaves who redeemed their freedom through simple financial laws and wisdom.

Summary: Great Start!
Review: This is the first book that I have ever cared enough about to write a review on. I read on average, 8-10 books a week, and this is by far, one of the best. Solid principals, and a can't loose basis for starting a financial plan and sticking to it.

Summary: a must have for someone just getting started
Review: I found this book to be a much more interesting read than other (mostly boring) financial guides on the market. The advice and instruction offered in the book are easy for anyone to use and understand. This book stresses living below your means and following a strict saving and investing program. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but I would especially recommend this book to someone just starting out. I intend to force my younger siblings to read this book!

Summary: Unforgettable Guide
Review: I read this book in the early 1960s upon the recommendation of my then Dale Carnegie instructor. For me it was most effective because of the clear, simple style in which it is written. I participated in an employer sponsored stock purchase plan during my entire career with AT&T. In addition, the employer matched a percentage of each dollar saved which is like found money. Whenever I wanted to buy something NOW, I thought about the suggestion in the story to "never sell your children," referring to not spending earned interest. I never forgot that. I am enjoying a comfortable retirement today. I credit the suggestions in this wonderful book with keeping me on track. Now it's OK to spend some of my "children."

Summary: My favorite book ever
Review: The book caught me from the very beginning. Although its writing in "Old English" posed some challenges at first due to the fact that I am not an English native speaker, the interest in reading it overcame this fast. Not only I enjoyed a great and fun-to-read book that teaches common sense (which happens to be no so common sometimes), but I also learned more about the language of Shakespeare!

Summary: Definitely a must read for everyone.
Review: When I started in sales 15 years ago, a very good friend of mine turned me on on the mind books. This was one of three he recommended and he was very successful.The other books were Think and Grow Rich and Success through a Positive Mental Attitude. The principles in Richest Man in Bablyon are timeless. Remember, you can live off your income, but you can't get wealthy off your income. You only get wealthy by investing and Richest Man in Bablyon teaches that all important step of investing.Two other books to read in the area of personal finance are Wealth without Risk and Financial Self Defense by Charles Givens. These books will show you how to save more on what you make.

Summary: I should've read this book in High School
Review: Being only 20 years old I do not have an extensive knowledge about financial issues or for that matter building wealth. As an ambitious young man I have been trying to find a guide like this and finally thanks to George Clason I found it. I set my goals higher and I will be independently wealthy by 35.

Summary: Review: "The Richest Man In Babylon"
Review: Lots of people say "Money isn't everything", and they're probably right. However, most of the people who agree with that statment are those who have taken steps to ensure that Money is no longer a major concern in their life.The information contained in this book is ageless, practical and indeed, priceless; it can stand proudly against the modern-day texts, such as "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Millionaire Next Door". A word of advice - these principles do not work by merely reading and memorising; they only work through proper application. Those who use them properly will not be disappointed.

Summary: Should be every teenagers graduation present!
Review: I regret that I didn't know about this book years ago. I've given it out to at least 17 grads and hope they'll read it before they're 40. The principles are timeless, powerful and inspirational. I've been working at the principles for almost two years and it's better and easier than I imagined.
