Comments on: The Richest Man in Babylon http://blog.ninthball.com/2009/02/the-richest-man-in-babylon/ Those with insight should have the foresight to act or react with wisdom Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:12:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://blog.ninthball.com/2009/02/the-richest-man-in-babylon/comment-page-1/#comment-99 Anonymous Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:26:42 +0000 http://blog.ninthball.com/?p=70#comment-99 Ok soo, I commented on the 25th of feb that i would read this book. I recently read it and I must say it definitely blew my mind... The babylonians were indeed wealthy people, well at least the wise ones. The characters in the book took such simple ideas and principles and created the kind of lifestyle that most people aspire to have today. Even though i'm a student with no real income, i am already trying to implement a similar system in my finances. I hope as many people as possible get to read this book. :-) Ok soo, I commented on the 25th of feb that i would read this book.

Even though I've always find myself to have a good head on my shoulder when it comes to managing my money, living within my means, etc. there is always room for growing/learning. I understand very well that in our world without money life has very little options for you. Yet I am also very certain that I am not interested in any book (not saying this book since I haven't read it yet), about how to become rich in money or how to be wealthy in money. I am not looking forward to the days where I will buy my first million dollar home, or where I can have someone come clean my house. I just pray for God to continue to strengthen me so that I can ALWAYS be able to take care of my families. The big money house part may sound crazy to many but that is one of the best parts of God's creation of us being different. What I've learn is that we all have to pretty much do what works best for us. I just wish that it won't be done on the cost of others. When I look at the shape that our economy is in right now, I don't believe that it is because some guy felt that he needed to make moves (change career, upgrade his/her skills, get a better paying job) to support his/her family better. I believe the thought process (of course not all) was to do whatever it takes (if end up being good fine, if not oh well) to get/make more money. Simply put, GREED - "self-serving desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others" (Wikipedia). Just my thoughts!

I wonder if the current economic situation is spurring people to seek this out? or if it's always been such a popular book? lol I’m still waiting on this book from the Library….i am #17 in line…lol.
