Love This! I was 28 when I read this. Lived with my parents, lost without any direction. No money. No nothing. Two years later. I bought land in Montana. Received 3 degrees from a JC in agriculture. Started a wine label in Sonoma County,CA. Became the largest land holder in family by the time I was 35. Long Story, Short. I am exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to be doing in my life, that is true wealth to me!
Great story thanks for sharing. Kindly share how you reach where you're from no direction., no money , the steps you used to be where you are , to help someone in the similar situation
Its quite interesting how we reject the reality of our situation and expect to be able to observe it, control it and even change it. I used to be financially depressed until I read a book that made me realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments.
Financial depression is a type of depression that is a severe drop in GDP: It is characterized by massive job losses, widespread bankruptcies, and simply not knowing what to invest in with your money
What I think everyone need is an adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit. With this I feel anyone can basically achieve financial freedom.
When I was 48, I had saved $13,000. By the time I was 60, I was able to buy my first apartment building with $45000 downpayment from savings. Six months later, I bought a small apartment complex of 12 more apartments. Less than five more years, I was able to sell the complex for 1.5 million dollars. When all was settled, I was now financially secure. 18 years had passed. This works if you don’t give up.
Congrats. I'm 46 with 2 rentals, my current dream is to own a small multifamily property, maybe a fourplex or 5 or 6 apartments. You give me hope. I have children in college so I can't save as much right now but maybe by the time I'm 60 I can be like you.
I'm exactly 48 now! Lol 🤣. Thanks for giving me a road map. I too am into real estate classes as we speak lol 🤣 coincident?! Lol 🤣 48-60, 12years I can save $120,000 easily! Investing into a multiple apartment complex seem logical. It's a good goal 🥅 retired with over $2.5 millions. Thanks for sharing
You will as long you follow how budgeting your income with allocating every single penny you invest and expends. With a good knowledge of and action, wealth and success will upon on you with guidance of our almighty God.
Just remember, you can't just read or listen. You have to enact it. Put it to practice. I'm 30 and only recently realized that I read/listen alot but have never truly enacted what I've learned. Without action, knowledge is powerless.
I'm 55 and I went from rags to riches and riches to rags due to unfortunate circumstances. A divorce a head on collision that almost killed me. Covid 19. I'm blessed to be alive. I am going to listen to this for the 2nd time in a long time and apply all the principles. I just wish I was young again so hard to rebuild when you get older but I'm gonna do it. Thanks for the upload
@jacquelineSento Sorry for your troubles my friend. I hope you are seeking the knowledge to move forward. It's been six months since your post here. You've got this and you're going to climb up your ladder again to rejoice. You're not alone. Thinking of you and sending you strength, warmth and support.
I'm 65 and newly retired. My financial planner informed me of this book years ago to read, just now reading and have started the 52 week saving plan. I have a 22 year old granddaughter I will be sharing this info with.
In the 2 years I have started listening to this book and eventualy buying and reading about this book I have literally gone from $0 to $14K (almost R200K)... This is massive considering that I am from South Africa, I'm the first in my family to get a college degree and the first to have 0 debt. It's hard sometimes seeing friends and family living their best lives. But I remember the principles and reel myself back , re-read and re-listen to this. Stay on the course my fellow Babylonians!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Randel F If you actually picked up a book you would know that charlatans seek to get money from you..Lol this books whole aim is to teach you keep it! Plus it's a free audio book on RUclips soooooooo yeaaaa direct your bitterness and failure as a human somewhere else. The rest of us will keep pushing the positive energy and wealth !!
Im also doing this book. Literally from employee into a boss. I save earn money and start my business from that money. Now my business is giving me income.
I started my financial journey at 33 with this amazing book, it changed my life so much that all my businesses are named ARKAD. What a contrast of the last five years to now. This book will forever be the financial guide for mankind! My retirement property and even my residential (rental) building is called Residential Arkad. I cannot go more than 6 months without revisiting this classic! Good luck to every one on this worthy journey!
This is a dope story. I haven’t started a business yet, but I turned my life around 5 years ago, then started my financial journey 2 years ago. I’m working 2 full time jobs, saving at a good pace, but I know long term I can’t work this many hours and business is the answer. Thank you for your inspiring comment. Best of luck. 🙏
I first learned of this book about a year ago. I've listened/read about 15 times. I tell everyone i know about it, but I've also listened and discussed this book with my 11 year old son. I hope it assists him more than it'd helped me
Started my journey today...will 31 in 5 days...I can't even believe I postponed this read till now...it's quite a remarkable truth...my perspective about how much I can earn to take care my family changed...it's infinite!!!
When I read this book for the first time. I was in debt, had no saving and I knew nothing about financial planning. Within 6 months I managed to save 6K $ and I didn't have to get an other JOB. for motivational and re learning purposes I keep listening and re reading.
I’m 42 ,bankruptcies,broke,getting divorced,ruined my credit and I will be up on my feet again but this time solo .i will never ever get marry again.for sure
I'm 38 now, and I have listened to this book several times over the past four years. I can say that I have achieved what I believe was impossible.I just wish that I had read this book 20 years ago. Good luck to all in all your projects and let me recommend another great book, which is called "Think and Grow Rich".
We’re the same age. 20 years ago it was “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” for me. That book changed my whole life and life goals! Then i found this book, listened to it for the 5th time yesterday and it puts a lot of those same concepts into perspective for a daily plan. Although i had been doing it already, i like the 9-1 concept. I had been doing it as: live off of one paycheck and save the other 3 paychecks every month.
When the student is ready...the teacher will appear...God bless you all in your endeavours... update 11/11/22- I am listening to this again for the umpteenth time, I am in a better position financially than I was the first time.
"Every gold piece you save is a slave to work for you. Every copper it earns is its child that also can earn for you. If you would become wealthy, then what you save must earn, and its children must earn, that all may help to give to you the abundance you crave." PURE GOLD
Thanks to my family I saw the pitfall of not attaining financial freedom early and how depressing it is, now with enough insight I passively make new money from investing in the financial markets.
Hard to believe this was written almost 100 years ago. The fundamentals of life don't change, this is so relevant today especially with more people getting into the stock market
1.save a tenth 2.invest and have many streams of income 2.Budget 3.Secure your investment 4.Buys your own house/land 5. Secure your future for old age and protection of the family 6.increase thy ability to earn
@Kwitten Nweko Swuccubus 20% is so you can get out of debt and stay out of debt. For example: credit card A charges 26.9% Apr. If you owe them $1200.00 multipled by the Apr at the end of the month equals fifteen dollars and change. If you had 15 extra dollars a month at the end of the year you would have an extra 180 dollars a year. (Used one of my old credit card statements as an example)
I began my investment journey at the age of 38, primary through hard work and dedication. now at the age of 42,I'm thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time.this success reinforces the important of the advices mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth but rather ensuring long term financial prosperity.
Investors should exercise caution with theire exposure and exercise caution when concerdering new investment, particularly during periods of inflation. It's advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Through closely monitoring performance of the portfolio, I've witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on experience traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets it's safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I've made recently
This past few months watching my forex portfolio decline is very disheartening.holding doesn’t really profits much. Any idea on how to earn better on the short run?.please recommend to me your Fin advisor
The advisor I'm in touch with is *JESSICA KATHERINE ELLIS* she work with merrill, piece, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC television. You can use something else, for me her strategy works hence my results.she provide entry and exit point for the securities I fucose on..
I'm actually fustrated that they don't teach this is school. Also it's sad alot of people are paying for mentors when this is literally on the internet for FREE!!! Thank you so much to who ever uploaded this!. Amazing book I'm 28 and I know generation wealth is coming my way in Jesus name!
I know right ...I mean I honestly don't see a reason why one should pay for mentorship when such all this information is all over social media.... call it ignorant
Practical. I Just finished reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. The last 2-3 years I’ve been researching what financial freedom is defined by, but also what it meant for me. I didn’t finish college in 2017 and started doing delivery. Opportunity came and late 2018 with my father in law telling me his job is hiring a cad drafter for $10/hr. I had some skill, but learned fast, til today. I was 24 taking that job. I stopped renting and owning a new home became opportunistic at the age of 26. This month I just turned 28 and have my first job paying me six figures. I will be quitting my job in 24 months, and hope to reach MY Financial Freedom, Or “Independence” by 33. Practical Consistency.
Ty much. I'm 45 and plan ONLY FOR A BEAUTIFUL ABUNDANT FUTURE where I'm CAPABLE AS HELPING AS MANY AS I PLEASE... Thank.you I want to help MILLIONS LITERALLY...
I'm 37 just got out of debt completley, with 3 sons, oldest 13 and youngest 11 months. I can't wait to leave them "old money" but better yet broken chains of generational family financial poverty, that I almost lived with myself. It ends with me, and begins with me.
Well statistically wealth only spans 3 generations, so your great grandkids will probably end up being poor, atleast youll most likely be dead by that time
@@JAYVEEFaithFamilyFun i won't have kids, thus no grand kids. Just stating the facts, its cyclic. They won't respect what they didn't earn. I said atleast he'll probably be dead so he doesn't have to witness his privileged grand children piss all his hard earned wealth away.
I am 41 years old, and I really wish I had read this book as a kid. I think if this book was required reading in schools, the average wealth of this country would increase noticeably within just a generation or two. As it is, I read this book for the first time almost a year ago, and I have been practicing its lessons, and in one year I have eliminated 1/3 of my debt and now have an investing account with over $12k. I am well on my way to retiring by 50, and I don’t think that would be the case without the knowledge that I gained from reading this book.
I'm 43 underpaid,disabled wife with no disability coming in.i have big-time loan debt. I'm trying I missed out when I read this book back in my early 20,s. I think school should teach this when we were young . But they keep us poor and at bay. But one day I shall feel comfortable when I get there for now. Finding something to help build more money will help me. Good luck, everyone, on the journey to a better you.
At 32, I finally feel like an adult and this book was brought to my attention today by my supervisor. I make a decent amount of money and I’m able to pay my bills but I’m not saving like I should be. I’m 46 mins in and I’ve learned so much. I love it already.
I started a small business after reading this book 3 years ago with 2,000 dollars which took me 2 years to save. Today, my business was bought for 100,000 dollars. I'm truly thankful for Mr Clason for writing this. This has changed my life!

The single part that hits me every time I hear it, that has now really impacted me is this; "What have you to show for your earnings of the past year? Fool! You pay everyone but yourself!" It really dawned on me when, after reading that (for the third time), I counted every salary payment I received over the past year and realised my paymemt account was next to empty and my savings account containing a measly 300$. It's about time I am finally going to take this seriously and put this book yo use...
Agreed!! This was the same line from the book that changed my perspective on money. I also was on a channel called "Alux" where one video was talking about people being in debt was less than the homeless people on the street. That was the biggest wake up call that made me start attacking my debt.
Get one of the various online saving/investment accounts, and set automatic payments. It makes it much easier, and like he said "and after, I noticed I was not worse off than before".
I found out about this book 3 years ago and I'm 50. It has changed my financial life and I'm teaching my 8 year old son to pay himself first. This book is THE GUIDE to generational wealth
@@thomasthorne4010 just try to teach him in a nice cool way My father is a smart man too he's 57 now but he never knew how to teach so all my childhood I didn't like learning from him I hope that doesn't end up being the case with you because you're literally giving golden information to your son at such a young age
@@alisafeerhyder1994 Oh trust me, the lessons I've learned about money, which was the hard lessons, while he's gonna have his own experiences, I want to cushion those falls .... Lol !!!! But yes, he knows about paying yourself first and I have him as an authorized user on my credit card. He understands the importance of saving for now. He's too young to learn about budgets but we'll get there in due time. He also has a Green Card for kids so he's well on his way to a financial life MOST people can only dream of
I read this book years ago when I was 17 and broke. I’ve had some ups and downs along with distractions. I’m a private in the Army and I’ve saved up 70k in the last 5 years with no debt thanks to this book. Hopefully I can do better in the future
@@sirfrancis1756 Don’t forget the part about protecting your investment. I’ve seen may people get greedy and they end up losing everything. It’s frustrating when you see some people succeeding in high risk and return, but their futures usually follows the bang and bust cycle. If you don’t have a very specific interest in following the markets, I would follow Warren Buffets advice and put your money in a low cost S&P index fund.
My wife and I are in our early 30s nearly debt free and have a net worth of over 520k as of my writing this. We follow these principles closely aside from our savings/investing which is just north of 50% of our net income. We hope to be debt free within the next 4 months and be millionaires by 2028.
@@pizzamagee6220 that’s BEAUTIFUL. Are u In real estate? Stocks? Own some other trading business? Any insight or advice for me!?! Im 28 attempting to clearing my debt next year and getting my first investment property.
@@BLKTeeze I deal mostly in raw land development and stocks. The defense industry was my big move this year in January when Russia was postering to invade Ukraine and since the investigation in late February the stocks hove gone up a good amount. Northrup Grumman, Lockheed and General Dynamics have gone up quite a bit this year especially Northrup Grumman and Lockheed that are both up about 40%.
The Richest man in Babylon, The greatest salesman in the world and The Monk who sold his ferrari is the package that doesn't leave a person the same if carefully listened and meditated upon. As TD Jakes said, " There is nothing more dangerous than a changed and a made up mind" this is treasure unfolded. Thanks for this program of Audiobooks, i owe you a thousand gratitude
This book is life changing. To the point I believe any reasonable person should as that it be a required text for every school and any place of learning. The narration is done with excellence and with honor to the text it handles. I highly recommend this to any and all I meet. I first read this book when I was a small still a teen and the son of divorced parents who made less than $40,000 collectively between them. I have used the principles found in this book to build, own, and sell a business for well over $700k and am currently a Director of one of the most prestigious business in my city. If you are tired of being broke and living a paycheck to paycheck life this book is the solution. Cherish it!
After listening to this, it seems as if a lot of these RUclips financial self-help people took this book and turned it into a seminar with some additions from other books. I also noted a lot of the Dave Ramsey steps. Just goes to show that these guys didn’t invent any of this, but are good at marketing. The mentoring, paying yourself 1st, putting your money to work for you is usually a cornerstone of these people’s seminars. You get it here for the price of an internet connection that you have anyway.
You can learn a lot by reading the letters to shareholders written by Warren Buffett. They’re available at the Berkshire Hathaway website for free. They go back about 50 years. They’re the equivalent of a book written by none other than Warren himself and will be one the best uses of your time if you do...
Simply...WOW! As someone who always prefers physical books over audio books and can count on ONE hand how many audio books I've listened to in life (and enjoyed), this was EXCELLENT! I found the book at my local B&N yesterday and placed it on hold. Then, last night, this popped up in my feed (without me searching for it on YT) and without me realizing it was the FULL version. What GOLD this is! Thank you for this. The narrator is now in my top 5 list of narrators. So clearly and poignantly delivered! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I listened to this in one afternoon and am blown away by how timely it is for my life right now. I'm ever more inspired and wishing everyone else here in their journey to FREEDOM all the purest of joy and abundance! 🙏🏾
Im 23 and am building a 550k 2 story house with sea views in Australia. My loan is 100k for the land the rest is using my cash that I have accumulated since I was 17 when I built my first house , this will be my 4th house all which I have made fantastic profits from. Whilst listening to this it made me phone my realestate agent and buy a block of 3 units in my local town. I had being pondering on it for a few weeks and this made me pull the trigger. Now hopefully in 5-10years I'll own outright a 500k block of units returning $840 a week. People say I just get lucky but I don't I've made mistakes and learnt from them and I work harder then everyone my age I know. Its possible for anyone
I hit rock bottom when I read this book for the first time. I went to work immediately on all that I learned and put my slaves to work. Wasn’t easy, but I’m maxing out on earnings from the trade market, and reinvesting as I gainmy financial stance back.
@Rossi Hansen I must note that I have had some losses since I started trading in November 2020 on my own, but they are nothing compared to the gains I have made trading with my fiduciary, Levi Clemans🙂. Much better than anyone I’ve worked with. I’ll leave you his mail Leviclemans@gmalcom
@Agatha Moses of course! With a 20% commission. I’m even starting finally getting a hold of the market trading under him, no way I’m not turning pro before the end of the year.
Wow. I just finished this book. The lessons behind it are so obvious yet few people heed to them. It is more like a wake up call I desperately needed. I WILL be back to listen to this. My financial journey is tiresome but I actually have it way easier the Babylonians did. There was no risk of being a slave and having all options taken away from you. We have all the time and opposing the world. I have no excuses, to everyone reading and listening, all the best with your finance journey!❤️
Whatever you do to get money, always have a plan of what to expect but prepare for risks, understanding this one information saved me from losses I wasn’t prepared for, opening a Stock portfolio with £10 k gives at least £4 k in profits monthly from several commodities and equities

For those who are late to discover wealth, its not when you start its how you finish. For those who are early, be prepared, you will experience misfortune before fortune, but never back down. For those who are in the middle, you are in the perfect balance between time and experience, therefore, make mos tof it. Wealth is a skill, knowledge and experience all in one bundle, it will come for those who seek it.
I bought this book 3 days ago I’m 21 years old now & I’m so obsess to the point where I’m listening the audiobook from a taxi to ocho ríos 🇯🇲 new level unlock to my life 🙏⏳
im twelve and i listen to success audio books every day exept on the weekends because my dad wants us to become successful another good book i listended to was the strangest secret
Awesomely narrated... Even better when you listen as you read the book! I read it before many years back, now I've listened to it twice in a span of 4days! Wonderful book!
My boyfriend recommended this book to me and I’m more than grateful to him🙏🏾 it’s a must read kind of book,this will literally change your way of thinking and it has changed mine!
I’m in love with saving money, it’s pretty much addictive at this point. I always said steady income and a minimalist mentality go hand to hand. Good luck everyone
A joy to listen to, I have to say. I actually googled "books like rich dad poor dad" but ended up loving this book much more. The reader is awesome, I did not get bored even for a second! Well done.
I’m 22 broke in debt by at least 25k haven’t made a single payment. I don’t save a single penny and live like a wild hog going about life lost discouraged no energy no commitment I’ll be back in a year with a update
Depending on the type of debt, the state you live in, and how long you have held the debt you may be able to have some of it forgiven or removed. Good luck 🙌
I listen to this Audio book a least once a month there is so much more than financial advice in it Building habits, focus comes with hunger, the power of purpose, The importance of completing small tasks first and so much more. The more I listen the more I pick up something new sow your first seed this week and start your TREE OF WEALTH with consistent you never know what await you in 4 years. I wish above all things you prosper and be in health ( 3 JOHN 2- 5)❤
I just finished reading this book 24.08.2022 my mindset have changed for positivities and I believe I will become wealthy & happy very soon because I will follow the steps that will lead me to make it become possible.
bought this book a few days ago...I followed what it said save 10% of my income and I will follow this book from now on....see you after 10 years like Nomasir
I just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and it brought me to this book. I am now listening and following along with this book. I am hooked and hope to continue to learn more about self finance and how to get out of our own hole. Good luck to everyone may all of us succeed I'm what we desire!
I think we soon calling ourselves ob's and og's since we all just attended rich Dad's collage and now mastering finances at Babylon university. We gotta make it out of the rat race ASAP
It's probably already been two years since I first read this marvelous and succinct work. I can firmly say that this book changed my life. I am eternally grateful for its wisdom.

24, with social anxiety, an empty past and still looking positively to the future. I rather cry today that never smile tomorrow. I will transform my existence no matter how many inner challenges will come my way!
31 here! First time Discovering this. As of late its been hard for me to save anything. Tired of being broke! Thankful for this book. I earned 3 dollars today in tips. Instead of $.30 I put away $1 dollar. I have a jar with 1 dollar in it. Soon to be known as "the jar that started it all", atleast thats my goal. Where there is determination, there is a way! Or something like that. This book is a Gem!
Listening to this audio on a regular basis has helped me change my point of view and my financial habits. It is in story form, and I like that a well. I am not wealthy yet. But I believe that I am on the right path.
Started reading at 0. Now I’ve saved 1.5k and am still saving. I do not have many bills at the moment so it’s easy to put aside the majority of my check. I started writing down everything I spent money on and it stopped me from spending.
I love this book❤ 4 years since my last comment I’ve done truly great things since then in my personal and professional life to all that are reading this comment I’d like to serve as a living witness to the greatness of this book and it principles…. It changed my life forever and still continues to be a great source of inspiration for me. You all we be successful af if you follow what this book says ❤
About 1/4 of the way in and this is the best book I’ve ever listened to about money. I’ve read and listened to about a dozen to a dozen and a half books about money and although I understood the concepts I never could fully grasp them. I’ve heard all of these concepts before but the way they have been conveyed in this book is extraordinary. Almost feels like I’m listening to “The Republic” by Plato. This has changed my life no doubt about it. I’m Not a very spiritual person but it’s almost like these simple ideas have finally began to resonate and spring the first fruits. I was always looking for some hidden secret or some knowledge unknown to me. I now know that I had the relevant information all along but just wasn’t able to fully comprehend it let alone utilize it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Im listen to this audiobook at the age of 15 rn,and yea I do agree that I hope alot of young people such as my friends,to consider their spending and invest more
24 going on 25. Each paragraph resonated with me to a degree I had to stop listening and stop what I was doing so I could take notes. I will be recommending this book to my family.
Whoever put magic in this book, thank you. Because how come I listen to one chapter and the next morning I'm working out, sealing deals with customers, booking meetings and making multiple sales like I haven't been doing in 8 months???? The only thing I've done different in my routine is listening to this book. I'm shook.
Thanks so much for this life changing book! I read this a year ago during the start of the pandemic and have since then paied off all my debts and saved up 7000$ which a good chunk is invested. Thanks for helping us to see things in a new light!
@@LatinRoses Hey man so I’ve been doing some research and land investment is a pretty good one for guys starting out like us. Might buy some land and raise some livestock (goats, ducks), cuz land is cheap here in PA and there’s a need for local sourcing, especially for meats that’s are more desirable to foreigners like Goat meat (Africans, Arabs), and Duck (Asians).
@@LatinRoses Yes. Another real estate strategy I have in the plans is this: 1. Finance house with multiple rooms 2. After a year or 2 (need to own the house for a bit before you can rent out), rent out house. The rent money will pay off the house over time, and eventually you will profit. 3. Take equity out on that house, and use it to buy/finance the next available house on the block 4. Rinse and repeat. Before we know it, we’ll own whole neighborhoods if all goes well. Also, rent out on the higher end. If you do, and actually get tenants, everyone else will see that you’ve done it, and so will they. Boom, just like that, you’ve boosted the market value of all the real estate near by, because now everyone is charging more. It won’t happen right away though, which is good because it gives time for us to buy the houses as our value is increasing. This method, takes a bit more time and resources, starting with good credit. Buy and finance houses on the outskirts of the major cities. This is not professional advice btw. This is just ideas and information I’ve gathered this past year on my journey to understand and begin investing.
Love This! I was 28 when I read this. Lived with my parents, lost without any direction. No money. No nothing. Two years later. I bought land in Montana. Received 3 degrees from a JC in agriculture. Started a wine label in Sonoma County,CA. Became the largest land holder in family by the time I was 35. Long Story, Short. I am exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to be doing in my life, that is true wealth to me!
Awesome testimony! Thank you for sharing
Really inspiring thank you for sharing your story
Great story thanks for sharing. Kindly share how you reach where you're from no direction., no money , the steps you used to be where you are , to help someone in the similar situation
This is the best testimony of them all.
@@bebebe7666 Thank you at 38 I am still working at it everyday to go where I want to go. I am grateful for what I have but Im not satisfied :)
Its quite interesting how we reject the reality of our situation and expect to be able to observe it, control it and even change it. I used to be financially depressed until I read a book that made me realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments.
Financial depression is a type of depression that is a severe drop in GDP: It is characterized by massive job losses, widespread bankruptcies, and simply not knowing what to invest in with your money
What I think everyone need is an adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit. With this I feel anyone can basically achieve financial freedom.
Was it this book?
or another book?
When I was 48, I had saved $13,000. By the time I was 60, I was able to buy my first apartment building with $45000 downpayment from savings. Six months later, I bought a small apartment complex of 12 more apartments. Less than five more years, I was able to sell the complex for 1.5 million dollars. When all was settled, I was now financially secure. 18 years had passed. This works if you don’t give up.
Congratulations as you continue to reach higher and build your wealth!
Congrats. I'm 46 with 2 rentals, my current dream is to own a small multifamily property, maybe a fourplex or 5 or 6 apartments. You give me hope. I have children in college so I can't save as much right now but maybe by the time I'm 60 I can be like you.
Need sum advice and how long did it take u to save 13,000
I'm exactly 48 now! Lol 🤣. Thanks for giving me a road map. I too am into real estate classes as we speak lol 🤣 coincident?! Lol 🤣 48-60, 12years I can save $120,000 easily! Investing into a multiple apartment complex seem logical. It's a good goal 🥅 retired with over $2.5 millions. Thanks for sharing
Gina, would love to hear about how. Let me know if you have a few minutes to share.
I wish that 5 years from now, i come back here in this comment section and post my success story
I wish for your success
You will!
You will as long you follow how budgeting your income with allocating every single penny you invest and expends. With a good knowledge of and action, wealth and success will upon on you with guidance of our almighty God.

In the 2 years I have started listening to this book and eventualy buying and reading about this book I have literally gone from $0 to $14K (almost R200K)... This is massive considering that I am from South Africa, I'm the first in my family to get a college degree and the first to have 0 debt. It's hard sometimes seeing friends and family living their best lives. But I remember the principles and reel myself back , re-read and re-listen to this.

Im also doing this book. Literally from employee into a boss. I save earn money and start my business from that money. Now my business is giving me income.
I started my financial journey at 33 with this amazing book, it changed my life so much that all my businesses are named ARKAD.
What a contrast of the last five years to now. This book will forever be the financial guide for mankind! My retirement property and even my residential (rental) building is called Residential Arkad. I cannot go more than 6 months without revisiting this classic! Good luck to every one on this worthy journey!
This is a dope story. I haven’t started a business yet, but I turned my life around 5 years ago, then started my financial journey 2 years ago. I’m working 2 full time jobs, saving at a good pace, but I know long term I can’t work this many hours and business is the answer. Thank you for your inspiring comment. Best of luck. 🙏
I first learned of this book about a year ago. I've listened/read about 15 times. I tell everyone i know about it, but I've also listened and discussed this book with my 11 year old son. I hope it assists him more than it'd helped me
Wow amazing. I’m looking forward to sharing my story as well
I am currently 33 and just finished reading this book....an eye opener
Started my journey today...will 31 in 5 days...I can't even believe I postponed this read till now...it's quite a remarkable truth...my perspective about how much I can earn to take care my family changed...it's infinite!!!
When I read this book for the first time. I was in debt, had no saving and I knew nothing about financial planning. Within 6 months I managed to save 6K $ and I didn't have to get an other JOB. for motivational and re learning purposes I keep listening and re reading.
I can, I must and I will break the generational curse called poverty🙏🏼

Good luck to all in all your projects and let me recommend another great book, which is called "Think and Grow Rich".
@32 i believe its never later
We’re the same age. 20 years ago it was “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” for me. That book changed my whole life and life goals! Then i found this book, listened to it for the 5th time yesterday and it puts a lot of those same concepts into perspective for a daily plan. Although i had been doing it already, i like the 9-1 concept. I had been doing it as: live off of one paycheck and save the other 3 paychecks every month.
Think and grow rich is one of the best books I have ever read. Hands down.

Thanks to my family I saw the pitfall of not attaining financial freedom early and how depressing it is, now with enough insight I passively make new money from investing in the financial markets.
Hard to believe this was written almost 100 years ago. The fundamentals of life don't change, this is so relevant today especially with more people getting into the stock market
No doubt the market's lucrative only problem is earning from it, the complexity just keeps overwhelming me. I could really use some guidelines
It's facts that the markets can be more than overwhelming especially to beginners, a proper methodology should be devised before profits can be made

I began my investment journey at the age of 38, primary through hard work and dedication. now at the age of 42,I'm thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time.this success reinforces the important of the advices mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth but rather ensuring long term financial prosperity.
Investors should exercise caution with theire exposure and exercise caution when concerdering new investment, particularly during periods of inflation. It's advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Through closely monitoring performance of the portfolio, I've witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on experience traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets it's safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I've made recently
Wow that's stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
This past few months watching my forex portfolio decline is very disheartening.holding doesn’t really profits much.
Any idea on how to earn better on the short run?.please recommend to me your Fin advisor

I started the book yesterday and I am done today. I will read it a million times till it gets under my skin. Thank you so much for the upload.

Practical. I Just finished reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. The last 2-3 years I’ve been researching what financial freedom is defined by, but also what it meant for me. I didn’t finish college in 2017 and started doing delivery. Opportunity came and late 2018 with my father in law telling me his job is hiring a cad drafter for $10/hr. I had some skill, but learned fast, til today. I was 24 taking that job. I stopped renting and owning a new home became opportunistic at the age of 26.
This month I just turned 28 and have my first job paying me six figures. I will be quitting my job in 24 months, and hope to reach MY Financial Freedom, Or “Independence” by 33.

The single part that hits me every time I hear it, that has now really impacted me is this;
"What have you to show for your earnings of the past year? Fool! You pay everyone but yourself!"
It really dawned on me when, after reading that (for the third time), I counted every salary payment I received over the past year and realised my paymemt account was next to empty and my savings account containing a measly 300$.
It's about time I am finally going to take this seriously and put this book yo use...
Agreed!! This was the same line from the book that changed my perspective on money. I also was on a channel called "Alux" where one video was talking about people being in debt was less than the homeless people on the street. That was the biggest wake up call that made me start attacking my debt.
Get one of the various online saving/investment accounts, and set automatic payments. It makes it much easier, and like he said "and after, I noticed I was not worse off than before".

This book is life changing. To the point I believe any reasonable person should as that it be a required text for every school and any place of learning. The narration is done with excellence and with honor to the text it handles. I highly recommend this to any and all I meet. I first read this book when I was a small still a teen and the son of divorced parents who made less than $40,000 collectively between them. I have used the principles found in this book to build, own, and sell a business for well over $700k and am currently a Director of one of the most prestigious business in my city. If you are tired of being broke and living a paycheck to paycheck life this book is the solution. Cherish it!

After listening to this, it seems as if a lot of these RUclips financial self-help people took this book and turned it into a seminar with some additions from other books. I also noted a lot of the Dave Ramsey steps. Just goes to show that these guys didn’t invent any of this, but are good at marketing. The mentoring, paying yourself 1st, putting your money to work for you is usually a cornerstone of these people’s seminars.

You can learn a lot by reading the letters to shareholders written by Warren Buffett. They’re available at the Berkshire Hathaway website for free. They go back about 50 years. They’re the equivalent of a book written by none other than Warren himself and will be one the best uses of your time if you do...
Clason didn't invent the concepts either. Same applies then. Nothing wrong with unpacking or reframing for relevance.

My loan is 100k for the land the rest is using my cash that I have accumulated since I was 17 when I built my first house , this will be my 4th house all which I have made fantastic profits from. Whilst listening to this it made me phone my realestate agent and buy a block of 3 units in my local town. I had being pondering on it for a few weeks and this made me pull the trigger. Now hopefully in 5-10years I'll own outright a 500k block of units returning $840 a week.
People say I just get lucky but I don't I've made mistakes and learnt from them and I work harder then everyone my age I know. Its possible for anyone
Congratulations young man !
I made my first million by 18 and am now finishing up my trucking company at 25 I have hit my first billion!!
I hit rock bottom when I read this book for the first time. I went to work immediately on all that I learned and put my slaves to work. Wasn’t easy, but I’m maxing out on earnings from the trade market, and reinvesting as I gainmy financial stance back.
@Rossi Hansen I must note that I have had some losses since I started trading in November 2020 on my own, but they are nothing compared to the gains I have made trading with my fiduciary, Levi Clemans🙂. Much better than anyone I’ve worked with. I’ll leave you his mail
Leviclemans@gmalcom
@Agatha Moses of course! With a 20% commission. I’m even starting finally getting a hold of the market trading under him, no way I’m not turning pro before the end of the year.
Wow. I just finished this book. The lessons behind it are so obvious yet few people heed to them. It is more like a wake up call I desperately needed. I WILL be back to listen to this. My financial journey is tiresome but I actually have it way easier the Babylonians did. There was no risk of being a slave and having all options taken away from you. We have all the time and opposing the world. I have no excuses, to everyone reading and listening, all the best with your finance journey!❤️
How fairing now@Elfin
Whatever you do to get money, always have a plan of what to expect but prepare for risks, understanding this one information saved me from losses I wasn’t prepared for, opening a Stock portfolio with £10 k gives at least £4 k in profits monthly from several commodities and equities
What should I know early enough so as not to make costly mistakes, I hope you don't mind me asking
I have been watching videos on stock investing, hopefully I can start up right
@@Lilyoregon Understanding that I needed a solid foundation and that involved expertise my fiduciary Mr Ravies, handles my portfolio enabling earn while I learn

@@ayushpote9913 you're going to lead an incredible life
Did you guys go to a gold and silver dealer yet? Silver especially is cheap now, at 20 bucks an ounce.
Dani Camacho I have a great opportunity all through zoom if you are keeping your options open
For those who are late to discover wealth, its not when you start its how you finish. For those who are early, be prepared, you will experience misfortune before fortune, but never back down. For those who are in the middle, you are in the perfect balance between time and experience, therefore, make mos tof it. Wealth is a skill, knowledge and experience all in one bundle, it will come for those who seek it.
May all you guys reading this may be prosper and abundantly blessed!

Same here
Yep.
A lot of Kiyosaki's principles came from here.
I’m 14 and reading this. The things that I’m learning from this is crazy. Never expected to learn this much from a book.
I wish I could have read this at your age. You'll be a millionaire in a decade 💯
Hoooly, I wish I discovered this at your age, don't forget to apply the knowledge though!
The key is to always implement things. I have so much knowledge but barely now putting it into action, I wish I took action at your age
Men of action are favored
Knowledge is what you need to be successful. Keep that in mind.
It's probably already been two years since I first read this marvelous and succinct work. I can firmly say that this book changed my life. I am eternally grateful for its wisdom.
I have heard this audiobook three times in last 4 years I bought a paperback copy yesterday I have still not found a financial book as good as this
"Why do you eat your children, let them grow & produce," may GOD bless whoever endeavours to edit this book, & to those who read this book.

Well the worst vice is advise, ;)

My trading journey was a matriculation of highs and lows, literally just like the market. you up, you down. Now I'm constantly up.
Over the past 5 years, buying Bitcoin every week performed better than timing the market 86% of the time.
This is my favorite audio book! This has been a game changer for me. So much wisdom 🙌

31 here! First time Discovering this. As of late its been hard for me to save anything. Tired of being broke! Thankful for this book. I earned 3 dollars today in tips. Instead of $.30 I put away $1 dollar. I have a jar with 1 dollar in it. Soon to be known as "the jar that started it all", atleast thats my goal.
Where there is determination, there is a way! Or something like that. This book is a Gem!
Listening to this audio on a regular basis has helped me change my point of view and my financial habits. It is in story form, and I like that a well. I am not wealthy yet. But I believe that I am on the right path.
I agree with you. It's important to read it over & over until you fully understand everything & it becomes your habit
I’ve read this book many times and listened to it on the way to work. It helps keep me grounded and focused on my future👍🏾

What have you learned since?
Started reading at 0. Now I’ve saved 1.5k and am still saving. I do not have many bills at the moment so it’s easy to put aside the majority of my check. I started writing down everything I spent money on and it stopped me from spending.
2k
Good job and thank the lord
You are very wise my friend! Little bills and save more! Keep that up you are doing great!!!💪✅💯
I love this book❤ 4 years since my last comment I’ve done truly great things since then in my personal and professional life to all that are reading this comment I’d like to serve as a living witness to the greatness of this book and it principles…. It changed my life forever and still continues to be a great source of inspiration for me. You all we be successful af if you follow what this book says ❤
About 1/4 of the way in and this is the best book I’ve ever listened to about money. I’ve read and listened to about a dozen to a dozen and a half books about money and although I understood the concepts I never could fully grasp them. I’ve heard all of these concepts before but the way they have been conveyed in this book is extraordinary. Almost feels like I’m listening to “The Republic” by Plato. This has changed my life no doubt about it. I’m Not a very spiritual person but it’s almost like these simple ideas have finally began to resonate and spring the first fruits. I was always looking for some hidden secret or some knowledge unknown to me. I now know that I had the relevant information all along but just wasn’t able to fully comprehend it let alone utilize it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I wish many young people could read this book before they start work. 36 but following the advise of this book i can smell wealth.
I first read this book in my 50s now I am in my 60s and doing well. So you could be well off in 20 years or less. Blessings to you!
Its never to late to start.. 😎
Im listen to this audiobook at the age of 15 rn,and yea I do agree that I hope alot of young people such as my friends,to consider their spending and invest more
24 going on 25. Each paragraph resonated with me to a degree I had to stop listening and stop what I was doing so I could take notes. I will be recommending this book to my family.
Am I 19 years am trying to break the yook of poverty in my family thank you very much for this opportunity book
Whoever put magic in this book, thank you. Because how come I listen to one chapter and the next morning I'm working out, sealing deals with customers, booking meetings and making multiple sales like I haven't been doing in 8 months???? The only thing I've done different in my routine is listening to this book. I'm shook.
Thanks so much for this life changing book! I read this a year ago during the start of the pandemic and have since then paied off all my debts and saved up 7000$ which a good chunk is invested. Thanks for helping us to see things in a new light!
I’m struggling with what to invest in
@@LatinRoses Hey man so I’ve been doing some research and land investment is a pretty good one for guys starting out like us. Might buy some land and raise some livestock (goats, ducks), cuz land is cheap here in PA and there’s a need for local sourcing, especially for meats that’s are more desirable to foreigners like Goat meat (Africans, Arabs), and Duck (Asians).
@@theizzoshow5180 That sounds great. Unfortunately, I live in expensive California. Land here is astronomically high.
Any other ideas?
@@LatinRoses Yes. Another real estate strategy I have in the plans is this:
1. Finance house with multiple rooms
2. After a year or 2 (need to own the house for a bit before you can rent out), rent out house. The rent money will pay off the house over time, and eventually you will profit.
3. Take equity out on that house, and use it to buy/finance the next available house on the block
4. Rinse and repeat.
Before we know it, we’ll own whole neighborhoods if all goes well. Also, rent out on the higher end. If you do, and actually get tenants, everyone else will see that you’ve done it, and so will they. Boom, just like that, you’ve boosted the market value of all the real estate near by, because now everyone is charging more. It won’t happen right away though, which is good because it gives time for us to buy the houses as our value is increasing.
This method, takes a bit more time and resources, starting with good credit.
Buy and finance houses on the outskirts of the major cities.
This is not professional advice btw. This is just ideas and information I’ve gathered this past year on my journey to understand and begin investing.
@@LatinRoses Also, you can invest in land outside of Cali, if ya want.
