The story in that book is incredible; the best part is lending resources to relatives.

I had never come across that in real life ---- until I recently sold property to a relative without involving lawyers; huge mistake.

But the lesson is very plain in that book.

The Richest Man in Babylon is a Must-Keep; first read it many years ago. The lessons are timeless, when we remember that these parables were written some 80 years ago.

Incredible: people are just the same and never change.

Enjoy.

Thanks kenyainvesting for the download link. Now reading the book and thoroughly enjoying. What may I as is this forums interpretation of the third rule of gold "Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the
advice of men wise in its handling.
" How do I, a wanjiku, apply this rule in Kenya. Who are these wise men I can trust with my coins. Is it perhaps the fund managers. Is it true that one can actually get rich investing in funds or do they just help you beat inflation alone. What other wise men are there...... saidieni tafadhali.

Glad you are enjoying the book!
I wouldn't recommend fund managers because of the high 'management' fees.
The wisest man of all is yourself. Take time to familiarise yourself with investing basics.
Ama instead of investing with fund managers, just invest in stocks such as Centum, Transcentury, BRITAK. These hold a vast array of investments

I started by reading chapter one of this book after I bought it and I put it far away just as soon because it sounded too easy like it's for a child then 1 yr down the line I stumbled on it and I'd nothing to read and what profound advice it carries. Reminds me of how I'd dharaud "Who moved my cheese".



" Who moved my cheese" is a good one- easy to read and understand, but the lesson is invaluable. After reading it @ 2012 which character best describes you?
