What if the rules for building wealth haven’t changed for thousands of years, and we’ve just forgotten how simple they really are?

In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore The Richest Man of Babylon by George S. Clason, a timeless classic that shares financial wisdom through memorable stories set in the ancient city of Babylon.

They unpack the book’s core principles around saving, investing, and living within your means, showing how small, disciplined habits create long-term financial security.

Dave and Poppy discuss why paying yourself first is the foundation of wealth, how patience protects your money, and why understanding risk matters just as much as earning.

The conversation highlights how Clason’s lessons go beyond money, touching on responsibility, self-control, and long-term thinking. The hosts reflect on why these ideas remain so relevant today, especially in a world of instant gratification and financial pressure.

Clear, practical, and surprisingly modern, this episode is perfect if you want to build a healthier relationship with money and learn wealth principles that stand the test of time.
