Continuing A Treasured Masterpiece
When I first thought about writing this book, it was on the heels of reading and listening to The Richest Man in Babylon on audiobook four times in a row. I was enamored with the story devices that George Clason employed. I loved the way the characters seemed to jump out of the page at me. George’s characters invited me into their world in a way that few others had. I had a deep desire to hear more of what the characters had to say to me. As there was no more material available, I found that I might write the material myself, so as to appease my own inner desires.
The original version of George’s book was published in 1926 and then renewed in 1963. According to the dates, April the 8th, 2021 ended the copyright on the book, according to U.S. Law. I procrastinated much in writing the book you have before you today, but I have been working on the “Laws” found within for quite some time. Most of them are things that were taught to me, as well as things that I have learned in Real Estate, in the Stock and Crypto markets, and things I’ve picked up owning and managing businesses. There have been a lot of those.
I trust you enjoy the lessons and the stories that are offered here.v There is much wisdom in understanding the keys to wealth that George Clason had to offer.
If you haven’t George S. Clason’s book The Richest Man in Babylon and are reading this first, you are not going to have much fun. You will get lost in the context and wonder why I’m using some archaic English. Go pick it up or read it free online. I’ve got a copy at PaulyHart.com

From the story:

“It is true.” Bansir agreed. “When I did hear your words, Arkad, I went home and finished the chariot I had been procrastinating on and when I delivered it to the rich man, I paid myself first. And not ten percent did I pay, but twenty. For I was late to the wealth parade and should do my best to catch up. My wife and children did not understand the mood I had been in when we went through the market. For the gold I had brought with me was a mere 80% of the total gold he had paid me with. And from that total percentage I needed to pay back a small loan that I had taken out from Mathon, the gold lender. And also, at that very moment, I had decided not to take out any more loans, so that one half of my total was dedicated to buy supplies for the next chariots build. So when I told my wife that we were only allotted four fifths of my total earnings to spend that day on things at the market to live on, until the next time I was paid again, I thought with a great certainty that she would take the children and leave me then and there.”

“But you must tend after your family!” Someone in the crowd stated. Others murmured their agreement.

“Tend after them I do!” Bansir said angrily. “Just not to their expectation of great comfort… And that was on that day, not every day since then. Do you not recall the Wedding Festival that I threw for my son, not eight moons ago? Yes. When we celebrate, we do not have any lack. For we save up for the celebration in the times of labor, and invest heavily with every payment. But that is not the point of this… Nor is it the point that loans are a bad bargain. Many a person has been saved by a loan. But it is better to loan to yourself in the future, than take a loan from a stranger.” Bansir concluded.

“And look at him now,” Kobbi declared. “Today he is leaving his old home and moving to Nineveh. His shop will remain, with his son in charge and hired laborers to make new chariots here in Babylon, his new shop in Susa, and his daily dealings with the woodsmen, tanners and bronze workers… He is indeed a wealthy man!”
