Skinny Book, Profound Message January 7, 2009
Rena M. Reese (Potomac, MD United States)
If you are tired of living paycheck to paycheck or feel like you'll never get ahead financially this book is for you. If you do not have the few bucks it takes to buy this book, you are precisely the person that NEEDS this book. Simple premises, easy to implement and strategy that makes sense. Read it, buy a copy for a friend, make your kids read it. The language may be a little distracting (words like "thine" now and then)but not enough to impede your absorbing the message.

Powerful!!! December 29, 2008
See You At The Top
I really enjoyed this book... it is hard to believe that it was written in the 1920s. All of the things in this book still hold true today. Although this book was written so long ago all of the tips can be applied to your life today. It really makes you think and makes you want to change the areas that are not right in your life financially. I think everyone should read this book.

Clason's timeless classic is not just about how to acquire money, keep money, and make money earn more money. Rather, it is also about how to achieve personal wealth, happiness, and even meaning in this world. The use of parables and stories make this a great book for children as well.
Although many books contain the same messages, the way Clason delivers these timeless strategies cannot be duplicated by anyone else.
The Best book ever written, well maybe not quite! November 20, 2008

I read The Richest Man in Babylonseveral years ago while on vacation but when I got home I couldn't remember the name of the book. I have been searching for the book on & off since then.
I just bought 4 copies on line a few days ago and will be giving them (3 of them) out for Christmas. I can hardly wait for them to arrive.
Every time I speak to someone about finances I bring up this book. Now I will be able to give them the name. It helped me get out of debt except for my house.
I highly recommend this book, especiall for Jr high/High School kids. It will give them a look to finances that schools don't teach. It is not a "Religous" book but gives a parable look at finances. (Do you remember Aesops Fables when you were young? They taught us alot.)
