Today Letit goes to the ancient Babylon and invites you to this thrilling journey. Our mission is to reveal all the secrets of financial success! (o･ω･o)
Get comfortable, grab some dates, pour some Babylonian beer and let's go!
How was born the book The Richest Man in Babylon?
During archaeological excavations in ancient Babylonia, several clay tablets were discovered. They contained life stories about rich people who had lived in Babylon.
(.❛ ᴗ ❛.) George S. Clason drew inspiration from these recordings, deeming them relevant to date. And we can say for sure that he did the right thing...
He literally created the handbook for people who want to be financially successful ...thank you, George!:)
The Richest Man in Babylon – who that is?
Long ago, in a city of great opportunity called Babylon, there lived a young guy named Arkad. He was clerk in the city magistrate, each day from morning till evening he wrote letters with a wooden stick on clay tablets…this is what typing B.C. looked like :))
Arkad lived rather modestly, the money he made was hardly enough for food and household. He was a regular inhabitant of a big city.
(b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b ...but no, something made him stand out....Arkad dreamed of becoming rich!
Once, at the end of the working day, the wealthy moneylender Algamish approached the guy. He asked:
– Arkad, I have a picture to cut on a clay tablet. Can you do it in one night?
– Yes, of course, said Arkad. But… in return, I want to learn how to become as rich as you!
The loan shark thought, scratched his thick beard and nodded yes. He must've needed those tables for real :)
All night Arkad worked tirelessly. His back hurt, his eyes watered from the smoke of the candle, but he didn't give up…he was on that grindset before Andrew Tate! :)
The moneylender came early in the morning. Seeing that the work was ready, he told Arkad the three major rules of wealth:
- Pay yourself first! Set aside a tenth of your earnings and live on the rest. You definitely won't feel any poorer…instead, you will plant the seed for financial success.
- You should seek advice only from competent people. If you wish to multiply your money using precious stones, choose a jeweller, not a bricklayer. To open a butcher's shop, get advice from the butcher, not the milkman.
If you want to earn by trading, then complete "Hack the Trading" course!
- Your money work for you. No need to turn into a piggy bank. It is important that your savings are constantly circulating and make even more money.
These recommendations shook the world of Arkad. He started changing his everyday life, introducing new financial habits, and became a bit richer every day.
A few years later, Arkad became the richest man in Babylon!
Shhh… follow these rules if you want to become the richest person in your city!
The Richest Man in Babylon is not to be read "for the record". It can and should be used as a guide to your financial success.
Letit highly recommends reading The Richest Man in Babylon from cover to cover. It's really this, even a school kid can get through it :))

The wise book is what you wanted, it'll make you all undaunted!
