The Richest Man In Babylon July 10, 2006
Reviewer: Mathias Olsson from Sweden
The Richest Man In Babylon should be a obligated read in school. It teaches the fundamentals behind getting wealthy.
Many people hides behind the words "I don´t earn enough", "I can´t do that" etc etc. Thoose words can´t be held after reading this book. You don´t have any excuse anymore. Keep a part of what you earn and invest it wisely. Simple and clear. But easy isn´t the right word. It will take a while before you learn the wise part. But every game needs a learning section does it not?
The best book ever in wealth creation for the ordinary man.

You Can Become Rich On What You Now Earn June 14, 2005
Reviewer: Harvey L. Gardner from White House, TN USA
The best advice is often free. The solutions to life's toughest problems are often the most simple. They're not easy, but they are simple. Perhaps that is why the best advice too often is ignored. It's just too simple to be believable.

The advice offered by "The Richest Man In Babylon" is so simple that it most often is ignored. Yet it reveals the only reliable secret to obtaining wealth. It is a simple (and safe) secret for obtaining riches. It is hard to execute, but it is unfailing. The title of the book is taken for one of a collection of parables in the volume. All are pregnant with practical wisdom. All will work. Read "The Richest Man In Babylon" to place yourself on the one true road to riches.

As an investment advisor for nearly 30 years, I've never known any other method of obtaining wealth that is availble to anybody who earns a paycheck. But it is universally ignored. If you read this book, and heed it's advice, you will become rich, and you can do it starting right now, in your present job. Buy the book. Read it. Insist that your children, and their children, read it. It will be like teaching them to dig in a vein of pure gold.
