“The Richest Man in Babylon” by author George S. Clason
The core principles of “The Richest Man in Babylon,” such as “pay yourself first,” “make money work for you,” or “necessary expense is self-defined” are timeless principles that you will consistently find in even the latest personal finance management books.
I always recommend this book to anyone who is new to personal finance management. In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of “The Richest Man in Babylon” is its accessibility. For those who are just starting to grasp the concept of financial management, this is a perfect starting point. It’s a book that can be read in one sitting but is incredibly easy to read, thanks to its understandable stories and lessons that provide a fundamental financial mindset.
If you are already familiar with personal finance books or lessons and are looking for deeper knowledge, specialized books might be more suitable for your needs. However, you can still read this book if you enjoy a good story approach rather than expecting to learn something entirely new. You might find this book enjoyable in that regard.
