After listening to this; my short summary of the way to wealth: 1. Industry - up early, working and not idle 2. Frugality & prudence in spending (the most important point) 3. Ask humbly of the blessings of Heaven

Ben Franklin was a,very witty genious of a man as he was motivated in writing these sayings in the Almanac he invented. He understood the psychology of people. Putting all together famous witty sayings of old and new of which he heard people value both from Solomon's words and all people quoted. Recognizing its value to make men think more to motivate to action. Stimulating others with less complaining and more self-problem solving by putting all wisdom in one paper knowing it would be sought by all. Thus, he promted the value of using common sense in actions. Also, making him much money. "Killing 2 birds with one stone." A master motivator.
Excellent well read classic work. I find it interesting that Charlie Munger quotes Ben Franklin and Ben Franklin quotes Richard Saunders! Frugality, etc. are not new ideas! I love it! Time tested!!
This was more than just good financial advice. This was superbly written as literature. I wished I could be as articulate as Benjamin Franklin. Edit: while Benjamin Franklin was extraordinary in many ways, he is by today's and contemporary standards, very poor in health. So, take his advice on money but be ready to spend money on good healthy foods.
"Good things come to those who wait, but only the left overs from those who hustle!..." ~ Benjamin Franklin. I have a pretty good idea what dinner time was like at his house...
jon hart "No one said it you liars" Well, someone said it, so I guess you are also a liar. Welcome to the club, we have t-shirts and really cool jackets if you're interested.
I base all my purchases on the 10% dividend opportunity cost. Is this object valued at one thousand dollars worth more than the one hundred dollar annual dividend I may receive from my investment portfolio? If the object brings more joy than a hundred dollars each year for the rest of my life, I allow myself to purchase the object. Otherwise, I walk away and invest the money into the future.
Read this for fun while I was in High School. I think it left a good impression on me and imprinted on my subconscious somehow. However cannot say I have followed the advice perfectly!
I don't think anyone follows the advice perfectly to be honest, Benjamin Franklin himself had gone to the store for a new coat he didn't need in the book. I think the trick is in following his advice more often than not
Beautifully read! It highlights the Great Ben's sense of humour- I would bet my bottom dollar that he is taking the piss with this piece-there is evidence elsewhere that he had subtlety and great personal depth - a deep sense of irony, which Americans generally seem to find a difficult intellectual quality to come to terms with, or so it would seem... after this years crazy behaviour at the highest political levels. Enough said! thank you for this entertaining and informative piece! A great way to spend 20-odd mins -priceless!
American humor is the most popular form of humor in the world. It's not that we don't understand irony, we just don't understand why the British are so proudly submissive.
They (financial institution owners) want good little worker drones. Just smart enough to run the machines/ cash tills, but too dumb to organize and protest for real change. ~ George Carlin. If your interested "Inequality for all" is a good documentary film on this.
Somebody help me who is the poor Richard that keeps getting referred to?... am I to understand the poor Richard was a metaphor or I've missed something somewhere 😁
It's a pseudonym for Benjamin Franklin. He made him up and used the name to write and publish Almanacs, which are books published yearly that record facts and figures about the weather, astronomy, agriculture, etc etc.
not all slavery was bad. True good slavery, was a happy estate. These slaves were treated like family and had all their cares taken care of. After a time , freedom was offered to them but most enjoyed their estate. Americans have watched or heard to many revisionist literature.
@@danielmann5427 A bold faced racist LIE! Slaves were not treated "like family?" Would you r@pe your family? Whip them like dogs? Keep them illiterate and desperate? Make them work in the brutal heat for no pay under threat of death? Murder them for the slightest disagreement? Treat them as less than human?
I suppose he had nothing about accepting dozens of times more debt for college than could ever be paid back, and then to harangue the taxpayers for the right to discharge the debt.
This will probably surprise you as much as it did me , I previously thought the same thing ... but "sloath" is actually an accepted pronunciation for the word 'sloth'. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sloth - Idk how anyone ever learns English as a 2nd language😅 Impossible to ever get it right.
Cari Schumann Benjamin franklin authored an annual almanac from 1733-1757 under the pseudonym Poor Richard. This essay is the culmination of the highlights over those 25 years. Dick is a nickname for a man named Richard. Much like Bob is to Robert.
Franklin borrowed the name "Richard Saunders" from the seventeenth-century author of Rider's British Merlin, a popular London almanac which continued to be published throughout the eighteenth century. Franklin created the Poor Richard persona based in part on Jonathan Swift's pseudonymous character, "Isaac Bickerstaff". In a series of three letters in 1708 and 1709, known as the Bickerstaff papers, "Bickerstaff" predicted the imminent death of astrologer and almanac maker John Partridge. Franklin's Poor Richard, like Bickerstaff, claimed to be a philomath and astrologer and, like Bickerstaff, predicted the deaths of actual astrologers who wrote traditional almanacs. In the early editions of Poor Richard's Almanack, predicting and falsely reporting the deaths of these astrologers-much to their dismay-was something of a running joke. However, Franklin's endearing character of "Poor" Richard Saunders, along with his wife Bridget, was ultimately used to frame (if comically) what was intended as a serious resource that people would buy year after year. To that end, the satirical edge of Swift's character is largely absent in Poor Richard. Richard was presented as distinct from Franklin himself, occasionally referring to the latter as his printer.[8] In later editions, the original Richard Saunders character gradually disappeared, replaced by a Poor Richard, who largely stood in for Franklin and his own practical scientific and business perspectives. By 1758, the original character was even more distant from the practical advice and proverbs of the almanac, which Franklin presented as coming from "Father Abraham," who in turn got his sayings from Poor Richard.[9] -wikipedia
Poor Richard was a famous Russian spy at that time. The author of this was merely pointing out this opinion aligned with the opinion of this famous man. The real question is 'what does Benjamin Franklin have to do with this?'. There is a masonic tradition that answers this question, but the federal reserve will not allow anyone to write it on the internet.

Finance has always been about debt, so probably not.
I wonder what poor Richard has to say
"Lying rides upon debt's back."
50% of what Poor Richard supposedly said is ACTUALLY from Solomon in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
