Personal Finance Basics

How you think about money can change your life, regardless of your income. The definitive source for personal finance has been written 80 years ago.

The book

The Richest Man in Babylon is a 1926 book by George S. Clason that dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon. The book remains in print almost a century after the parables were originally published, and is regarded as a classic of personal financial advice.
