THE WAY TO WEALTH by Benjamin Franklin

"The Way to Wealth" was an essay written by Benjamin Franklin in 1758. He was on a journey to England and resented the time wasted waiting for the ship to sail while it was anchored in New York for 2 weeks.

This simple guidebook is America’s first book on personal finance, well known for its simplicity and practicality.

“The Way To Wealth” reveals wisdom born from experience; wisdom filled with enduring principles that transcends generations.

The goal was not extravagant wealth, but, rather, economic independence and the opportunity for social advancement through financial gain.

Franklin took on the role of “Father Abraham” and dispensed knowledge to his readers by quoting heavily from that wise old sage, “Poor Richard.”

This essay has inspired people from John D Rockefeller to Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger and it may well teach you a thing or two.
