Ce livre devrait être offert à toute personne le jour de ses 18 ans et remboursé par la sécu. Dans cette histoire poétique, plantée dans un décor des 1001 nuits, se cachent de petites histoires, accessibles à tous, qui nous enseignent, chapitre après chapitre, les principes de base pour gérer correctement son argent, éviter les pièges financiers de la vie, et maîtriser l'aspect financier de sa vie. L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur certes. Mais éviter les problèmes d'argent et savoir comment le gérer de manière efficace, conduit à un état de sérennité et d'apaisement qui permet de mieux profiter de la vie. Cela ne FAIT pas le bonheur, mais permet certainement de s'en rapprocher, et d'éviter le malheur et les déconvenues infligées par d'énormes pertes financières et un endettement trop important. Ce livre est un concentré de tous les enseignements bienveillants que chaque parent a la responsabilité de transmettre à ses enfants. Il donne de la direction à la vie de chacun et aborde notamment le rapport de l'argent au temps (amortissement d'un prêt immo, constitution d'un patrimoine, d'un plan d'épargne retraite...). C'est pourquoi il est vivement recommandé de le lire dès que l'on commence dans la vie. Mais peut aussi aider à faire revenir sur le droit chemin ceux qui se sont un peu égarés. Il n'est jamais trop tard. Je recommande fortement !!! Read more

I enjoy reading books that teach me something new, and I have a habit of marking impactful pages with tiny post-its. The more post-its sticking out, the more influential the book has been for me. The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason turned out to be a truly enjoyable and enlightening read. Written in a light, almost novel-like tone, it manages to deliver valuable lessons while being relaxing and pleasant to read. What I really appreciate about this book is its focus on building wealth through sound financial habits rather than chasing scams or get-rich-quick schemes. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing your financial security in your spending habits and encourages readers to cultivate discipline and foresight. With a mix of practical tips and historical anecdotes, the book teaches simple yet effective strategies, such as increasing your income streams, saving consistently, seeking advice from qualified experts, being cautious of "know-it-alls," clearly defining your goals, lending wisely, and avoiding investments in unfamiliar ventures. Overall, it’s an inspiring and practical guide that I’d recommend to anyone looking to improve their financial literacy. I give it a solid 12 post-its! Read more

I still didn’t manage to get through the whole big, it’s okay-ish. I guess for someone who is clueless about managing finances, there might be some valuable info. But if you’ve read other books on finance or are more aware - it all seems quite dry and repetitive Read more

It's small, but good! I like it. Read more

I just need to say that if you're not native american, buy this book in your native language. The way this book is written is ancient or classic english and it can be pretty confusing for some readers. Beside that, awesome book. Read more

The author tells the story of the richest man in Babylon giving the fundamentals of saving, investing wisely and having money work for you. It also highlights how procrastination, trust and the basics of lending money and its pitfalls. It is a book I would recommend for anyone between the ages of 14 and onwards to build strong saving habits and investing wisely to have your money work for you. I can't believe it was written in 1926, about at time in ancient Babylon and still holds true today. The old english gives a better feel for the era it describes. A terrific read! Read more

This book has been a game-changer for me in managing my earnings. Despite its use of old English vocabulary like "thee" and "thou," I found the lessons surprisingly easy to understand and apply. One incident that resonated deeply with me was the journey of Arkad's son, Nomasir. Nomasir initially failed to follow the laws of gold but didn't give up. He restarted his journey by applying the rules step by step, and over time, he succeeded. After years of perseverance, he returned home, a wealthier and wiser man. This story highlighted for me the importance of resilience and sticking to sound financial principles even when things get tough. The book emphasizes a straightforward yet powerful rule: "What you earn is yours to keep." It stresses the importance of saving at least 10% of your earnings. It also provided practical advice on managing debts, suggesting that you don’t need to repay everything all at once but can make consistent payments while managing your income effectively. Overall, this book has imparted timeless financial wisdom that remains relevant today, teaching me to save diligently, manage debts wisely, and never give up on my financial goals. Read more
