#10. The Richest Man In Babylon
George S. Clason's faux-biblical parables about acquiring wealth have inspired investors since the 1920s. Like most of the personal finance books that followed, The Richest Man In Babylon emphasizes saving over spending.
However, the book also insists that charitable giving is equally as important, provided you don't allow those two whom you give to become dependent upon your gifts.
Best quote: "Budget thy expenses that thou mayest have coins to pay for thy necessities, to pay for thy enjoyments and to gratify thy worthwhile desires without spending more than nine-tenths of thy earnings."
