About this listen

 P.T. Barnum was an astute businessman and one of his principles for success was to treat each customer with respect and give him his money's worth. In this "mini-book", he gives practical rules that allowed him to stay out of debt and to acquire wealth.

The "rules" are illustrated by homespun stories. While some of these of this may seem like common sense, it is the kind of common sense that Wall Street, the government and many ordinary people seem to have forgetten about in recent years. This is a small book but one that could have large consequences for your financial future.

Some wise words and useful principles to follow that are as true today as when the book was written.

I like the brevity of this book!

Its an old book and in some places that shows. In others those wise old words still ring true today. Basic premise is simple; don't waste money on stuff you don't need. Work hard, save and acquire wealth via frugality.

Nothing really enlightening though.

Short succinct and not bad

This book is a little old fashioned, but the information is still relevant today. It’s brevity is great (too many other books pad out their message over many pages). Definitely worth listening to.
