Rules that govern wealth are simple.

The Laws of Money don’t discriminate. Money is not to be feared or revered. It is an inanimate object that is neither good nor bad. Money is a willing and obedient servant that awaits your orders and objectives. It follows those commands without deviation, without question.

Breaking these 8 Silent, but Deadly, Wealth Killers are a result of you listening to money…when it should be listening to you!

I have personally used these laws in my life, to great success.  I know they will work for you!

Wealth Follows Laws

They can be used by anyone who knows them and applies them.

My Goodreads review of the Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

The inspiration for the 8 Silent But Deadly Wealth Killers and a must read financial classic!

I always put books in the context of the times they were written. The fact this book was originally published in 1926 right before The Great Depression is telling.

The fact that the advice endures even today is also astonishing.

As an author, I believe in the power of stories to relay concepts and “moral of the story” endings. The way That George Clayson relays financial elements in parable form are the precursor to “The Instant Millionaire” by Marc Fisher or “The Wealthy Barber” by David Chilton.

With recent scrutiny of the 1%, financial literacy is critical for more people to enjoy financial security, if not wealth. Ironically, at the beginning of the book, the king that commissioned Arkad to teach his subjects money management says, “our city is in a very unhappy state because a few men know how to acquire wealth and therefore monopolize it, while the mass of our citizens lack the knowledge of how to keep any part of the gold they receive.

The times are strikingly similar…

Yes, the financial advice is “light” but solid. Having struggled financially, I realize that my downfall was not following core elements of this book – “Start Thy Purse To Fattening” and “Control Thy Expenditures”. Here are the 7 laws of wealth that is outlined in the core story:
