    February 17, 2008: Every 18 year old should have these concepts about money ingrained in their mind! This title is an amazing set of parables describing how great leaders of Ancient Babylon went from rags to riches... by following simple rules of money. 'Start thy purse to fattening' is the first rule we learn. Through a fascinating and believable story of Arkad, we learn that 'a part of all you earn is yours to keep'. I immediately connected with Arkad, because he and I both thought all of my earnings are mine to keep. Algamish, the money lender, said to Arkad 'Do you not pay the garment-maker? Do you not pay the sandal-maker? Do you not pay for the things you eat? Can you live in Babylon without spending? You pay to everyone but yourself... If you did keep for yourself one-tenth of all you earn, how much would you have in 10 years?' This is the first of many valuable lessons I learned from these priceless parables. I can say if I read this book 7 years ago when I was 18, My assets would be at least $50,000 more today. I am very grateful I have across this material today, for my financial future will be significantly changed for the better!
