The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason Pt. 2

Lesson One: “The Richest Man in Babylon Tells His System”

           In lesson one, we are introduced to Arkad—the Richest Man in Babylon. We meet him as he is among his friends who ask him how—even with having a similar start as themselves—did he grow to become the wealthiest among them? He explains some advice he learned during his humbler youth from a man named Algamish. This advice can be summarized into three main points:

Save (pay yourself) at least ten percent of your income;

Your savings should be invested in ways that will continue to pay off;

This should be done as a steady and sustainable habit.

The first point is something I have long been familiar with before reading this book. I’ve always had a rough idea that one should save money. Even when I was little and in Sunday school, I learned a rough outline for a budget: 10% tithe, 30% savings, 30% needs, and 30% spending. These neat little divisions, however, don’t really hold up well to my current situation. For one, I no longer go to church and don’t tithe. Second, my needs typically cost more than thirty percent of my income. Grant it the difference between my needs and wants can sometimes be a bit blurry.

The second point, however, I find a bit more interesting. While I have always tried to save money, I never really had a clear idea of what I was saving for. I always vaguely thought of it as “saving for a rainy day" or for something big like college or a car. Never had I really thought of saving to invest back into my income. Previously my mind had been more like Arkad when he spends his profits on “feasts with honey” and “spiced cakes (pg.21).”

Lastly, on the third point—regarding saving as a habit. I found this areeable as I have long been working on my other habits and routines. I like the idea of focusing on personal finances as a process of habits rather than a final product. Thinking of it this way seems much less daunting of a task.

5 Laws Of Gold

1. Gold cometh gladly and increasingly to the man willing to put away 1/10 of his earnings to create and estate for his future and that of his family

2. Gold laboureth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds 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 advise of men wise in its handling

4. Gold slippeth away from the man who Invests it in businesses or purposes for which he is not familiar, or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep

5. Gold flees the man who enforce it to impossible earnings or who follow the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers, or who trust it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment

This book is incredible. Can't wait to see my next 5 years

5 Books Everyone Should Read

This is a collection of 5 books I believe anyone can read and gain something from them. These are all from different genres and I probably need to post a bigger "masterlist" of sorts when I have the time ! @siren-honey thank you for this question ! These books are some I read (or re-read) this past few weeks, so they are not my "all star" rooster but nonetheless they are great books!

The Bank by Marc Roche

This is an older book but its teachings still ring true. My dad bought this book many many years ago and it talks about Goldman Sachs and how the big banks and investment companies "rule the world ". Now I know that doesn't sound very exciting to read baout but it is great for anyone who wants to level up and open their eyes on what is really going on in the world. If you can not find the book and want to learn a bit about it, just send me a private message or an ask and I will post a summary <3

2. Why Men Love Bitches

Everyone and I mean, EVERYONE should read this book. Don't scrunch your nose because of the name! It helps you come in contact with your auntentic self and the wild feminine side of yours. Let your head down tiger ! It's time to show what you're made of.

3. Plato's Republic

A dialogue written by Plato. It doesn't only discuss the matter of "justice" but it also contains the "Allegory Of The Cave". Now, I'm studying history and philosophy so these texts are "easy" (lies!) for me to read and analyze (more lies! lol), but if you don't want to read thw whole dialogue just search it up online and read about the main points. You will still learn something !

4. 48 Laws Of Power

I'm a history buff. I love the way Robert Greene, in all of his books, combines history with psychology. Sadly, his teachings are right. This book will help you distinguish people and learn how to spot the good characters in your life. Anything by Robert Greene is great to read! You won't want to put it down !

5. The Richest Man In Babylon

This book is one of my favourites because it is a no bull$hit guide to wealth. It tecahes the fundamentals and shows that they never changed. As an example, many "wealth coaches" tell you to never buy a house and always rent, but right now we see that it is much cheaper to buy than rent. These cycles repeat themselves all the time and the author suggests you always have a home, big enough to live at comfortably or that you can rent and use as an investment property. The book is also a container of wise teachings on life in general.

BONUS:

6. The Body Keeps The Score

Health is wealth. PERIOD. I love this book cause it shows the link between our brain, mindset and physical body. If you read just one book of all the ones I mentioned let it be this. As a society we have glorified wealth and wordly accomplishments and we have forgotten our temple, our vessel of life, our body!
