The Richest Man in Babylon
By George S. Classon

Excerpts from the book…

“Money is the medium by which earthly success is measured”
“Money makes possible the enjoyment of the best the earth affords”

A PART OF ALL YOU EARN IS YOURS TO KEEP.

BETTER A LITTLE CAUTION THAN A GREAT REGRET.

Seven Cures for a lean purse

• Start your purse to fattening
• Keep one-tenth of all you earn
• Control your expenditure
• Make your gold multiply
• Guard your treasures from loss
• Make your dwelling a profitable investment
• Insure a future income
• Increase your ability to earn

THE FIVE LAWS OF GOLD

1. Gold comes gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
2. Gold labours diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
3. Gold clings to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
4. Gold slips away from the man who invests it in business or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who follows the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience or romantic desires in investment.
