7 Lessons From The Richest Man In Babylon


1. Start your purse to fatten / Start fattening your financial accountsIf you want your financial accounts to thrive, start by setting aside 10% of your income. The 10% income is a way of paying yourself first, and should never be used for expenses but only for investment.



2. Control your expenses:


One of the major reasons why you may find it difficult to set aside the 10% is because of unnecessary expenses, which are a result of insatiable desires. According to the book, desires grow in men so quickly if there is a means to fulfill it.

Many rush into luxurious deals hoping to pluck back huge profits, only except that when you risk your money, you risk losing wealth. Do not be misguided by your own selfish romantic desires to amass wealth rapidly. When investing, do not take any advice from an inexperienced person, but make safe investment decisions.



5. Own a home

6. Insure your future income
