Rating: Summary: A Must Read for Every Human Being to Take Charge of Life! Review: Richest Man in Babylon is an excellent book for everybody whoever wants to make the best out of life. The book has a very simple and lucid style. It tells the stories of Babylonian people who mastered the laws of GOLD (MONEY). These rules are eternal. No school in the world teaches these rules to its students. But the very knowledge of these laws is a MUST for everybody. This book goes an extra mile in prospering the life of anybody who reads it and follows the laws of GOLD shared in it.An EXCELLENT gift on the occasion of birthday or marriage! No SCHOOL or COLLEGE Education can take the place of the LAWS of GOLD shared in the book! Go ahead, read the book and follow it!
Rating: Summary: Received this as a wedding present - best one we received! Review: Excellent for young people getting married and graduating from high school or college. It conveys the important concepts of putting money away - and more importantly - the perils of getting into deep debt. We received this as a wedding gift - and it is one of the few that I will remember always.
Rating: Summary: Not for the sophisticated Review: Given how many fans this book appears to have, I feel a little lonely noting anything negative about it, but it was so simplistic I couldn't stick with it to the end. The advice in The Richest Man..., is fine enough, but I found the "thous and thys" annoying and mostly common sense. A MUCH better bet is The Mindful Money Guide. This book simplifies financial advice and never forgets there's more to life than the bottom-line (without losing sight of the importance of financial security). It can also be enjoyed by someone with hip or mildly hip sensibilities. It's well-written and made me laugh out loud a few times.
Rating: Summary: Read it! Review: READ THIS BOOK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY READ THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR. THIS WILL FOREVER CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE. YOU SEE, NOT ONLY IS IT OKAY TO BE FRUGAL, IT'S COMMENDABLE. BE SYSTEMATIC WITH SAVING 10%, 50%, OR WHATEVER AMOUNT YOU CHOOSE...JUST DO IT.
Rating: Summary: A Classic Review: This book is timeless. It is to investing what "The Mythical Man Month" is to computer science. This book has sage advice in literary form and is a joy to read.
Rating: Summary: One of the ESSENTIAL must have books. Review: This is one of those "I wish I had been told about this at school" type books. If I had to name a dozen must have books, this would be in my top five. It is simple, entertaining and applicable to everyone. After I read it, I bought copies for each of my children and close friends. A great book.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS NOT LIKE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR! Review: Some have compared this with the Millionaire Next Door. Fools! The Millionaire Next Door taught how to be scrooge and never enjoy life or your money. This book is different. It tells you to invest enough for future and retirement BUT it also leaves much for daily spending, it speaks highly about owning a nice home and dressing up your lady. This is a winner! This book does not tell much about investing, more about how to save money for investing. If you don't know about investing, then complement this with The Schwab's Guide to Financial Independence.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read If You Want To Make Your 1st Million$ Review: An AWESOME book that is amazingly easy to read, and yet has among the most important principals for accumulating wealth!!! Follow the concepts explained in the interesting stories ... and you will make your first MILLION$ within the next 3-5 years!!!
Rating: Summary: Everyone should be required to read this book!!! Review: We are living in a time of so much consumer debt, and payday to payday living. This book is in story form and follows a man through the turmoil of becoming a slave, and then up to where he becomes finacially independant. Everyone in the world should be required to read this book to learn about finances.
