Way to Wealth Audiobook (Free)

The first American book on personal finance, The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin is still the very best and wisest money book ever written. Originally published in 1758 as the preface to Poor Richard’s Almanack, this little gem has been through innumerable printings and offered an incredible number of copies to people in search of smart but interesting advice about effort, earning and conserving, cash and personal debt. As the 21st century costs along, and the current economic climate continues to send out combined about Method to Wealth messages, Franklin’s basic but wise commentary on the value of market and frugality resonates as much for all of us today as it did for listeners almost 350 years back. This is a sample:

‘Early to bed and early to rise makes a guy healthy, rich, and smart.’

‘If you’d be wealthy, think about saving, aswell as of getting.’

‘If you’ll have your company performed, go; if not, send.’

‘Think what you do when you run into debt; you give to another power over your liberty.’

‘Creditors have better recollections than debtors.’

Although older than america itself, The best way to Wealth is still very popular. It is handed out by main companies and financial institutions to close friends, clients, and clients, and was the January 2004 selection of The Washington Post’s Color of Money Book Club.

As Michelle Singletary, movie director of the membership, wrote within a column about the book, ‘At simply 30 web pages, this pocket¿size publication takes less than an hour to learn but will give you a lifetime of financial wisdom – that is, if you’re wise enough to check out the advice’.
