Summary: Richest Woman in Bakersfield
Comment: I am not the richest woman in Bakersfield--yet! But with the help of this and other books I have been reading lately, I should get there soon. This is a short and enjoyable read, as it is written as if it were taking place in ancient Babylon, but the timeless principles still apply today.
An example from the book is to save one tenth of everything you earn, and then put your savings to work so that money will earn more money in investments that aren't too risky.

Summary: Reduce to 2 pages and I'm in!
Comment: I'll sum this book up for you in one sentence, "put 10% of everything you make in savings and then make your money earn you more money that doesn't require additional effort from you." The rest of the book just repeats this moto. The book does supply a fun story about Babylon, but if you are strictly interested in financial advice, the book doesn't go beyond the basics of saving. A good read for most Americans who have been entranced by credit card companies and over look the piggy bank, but for the financially responsible, I wouldn't recommend unless you want a good story about Babylon.

Summary: Seemingly obvious advice, but often overlooked
Comment: The book is a quick and enjoyable read. A lot of the financial advice in this book seems pretty obvious, but many people have no concept of saving money, working hard, and living frugally. The book also mentions that you should invest your money under the advice of wiser men so that it is working for you.
Overall, the book delivered its message very clearly. I would also recommend it for teenagers, since it contains excellent principles to build a good financial mindset upon.

Summary: Concepts of wealth
Comment: This book is a great, easy read for anyone looking to learn the main concepts of creating wealth.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Comment: I just finished this one. I think this is one of those little books I'll be referring to over and over again. Clason's book is one of those that you can read in an evening and remember most of the key ideas. You can put these principles to work in your life immediately. This is probably the best 6.99 you can spend.
