Make Money Jot

If I were restricted to suggesting merely one book about making money, I would be grit my teeth and complain that there are several valuable books, but then I would recommend this one: The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.

This is one book that everyone should read. I don’t mean merely those who want to make a lot of money or those who want to be wealthy. I mean everyone. I think this book should be required reading in our public schools. I think every student should be exposed to the articulate presentation of the fundamentals of finance that George Clason wrote in this book.

The book is a quick read at merely 144 pages, but the pages are packed with valuable nuggets. I have recommended this book to and have received feedback from several friends who were pleasantly surprised and started to think about and look at money with a different (better) perspective after reading this book. One friend said he wished he had read it twenty years ago and is having his children read it.

The book is writing in fictional short stories. Each story presents the knowledge of money through examples and explanations. The author has highlight key rules and points about money, making money, keeping money, and using money to make more money. These rules were true several thousand years ago; these rules are true today, and these rules will be true for the rest of time.

Who should read this book? Everyone! (and you can pick it up at Amazon for a very small investment.)
