I recently read the Grandfather of all "grow rich" books. The book is titled, "The Richest Man in Babylon". It was written by George S. Claxon. The first important lesson in the book is the 5 Laws of Gold. To save you time, I will give these to you right now.
1. Gold cometh 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 laboreth diligently and
contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment,
multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of wise men in its handling.
4.
Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or
purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by
those skilled in its keeping.
5. Gold flees the man who would
force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the advice of
tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and
romantic desires in investment.
Sound financial advice that is used by everyone including Rich Dad Poor Dad and others.
