Book Recommendation- The Richest Man in Babylon
Finacial book recommendation: The Richest Man in Babylon
One of my all time favorite books is a book written in the 1920's to help people understand the power of saving money and how compounding interest will reap you great rewards.
This is a very small book and can be read in a day (that's about a week for me...I'm a slooow reader).
It takes you back thousands of years ago to Babylon (now Iraq), which was the richest place per capita back then.
The story is about a boy who became the richest man in Babylon after he learned and matered the simple secrets to wealth, but not before failing a few times in the process.
The message still applies today and I highly recommend that you all find or buy a copy of this book.
It's cheap so go to Barnes and Noble tonight and get it !

Is it easy enough to read?
I tried reading Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich once and never got past the first few pages as It was really hard to read!

Very easy to read. It's like reading a story about a shepherd boy in the desert and how he grew up thousands of years ago (it's that time period).
Can't get an easier than that, eh?
