Richest Man in Babylon

Hi there
I recently read The Richest Man in Babylon and the wealth creation principles in the book are so simple it got me thinking if such principles are still relevant in our complex society?

No, the book sucks.

Read Unscripted .

It's legit the only book you need.

Yes and no.

Yes, you should save more than you spend which here means, produce more than you consume.
Yes, if you produce in massive excess of your consumption, you get rich.

No, the book takes a miserly, frugal approach to life -- spend nothing, consume nothing, and do nothing, and you'll get rich. In other words, you'll own nothing and be happy which is a WEF Wet Dream.

This book has gained in more popularity due to billions in free publicity as the world powers stress a minimalist lifestyle for us peasants, the peasants who aren't rich enough to attend climate conferences while owning 4 private jets.

This is maybe the less relevant book i've ever read.

Uh huh I see what you mean
Ultimately it is a better option to put money to work in a business system that I own and control.

Thanks for the feedback
