The Art of Money Getting

Short, simple, but still value in every chapter

I have just started reading the Kindle version, so I am not reviewing the contents, but only the formatting. This particular Kindle edition has run together words on almost every line. It is very annoying. I was able to get another Kindle version (probably from a different publisher) that does not have this problem.

Great little book.

This book is a gem of true "old school" fiscal wisdom. Any easy 20 minute ready written in old American English. Very humorous cutting, enlightening and 100% true to this very day. Foundational basics of monetary wisdom. Don't go to college. Save your money and sanity. Get this book. The principles applied in this book will change your life. It's incredible how something written 150+ years ago is so true. Human nature is a constant. This book is so quick to read and every word is drilled in as you read. This is a totally unknown book. You will never hear about it from main stream outlets. Of course, you will never hear about it from your college professor. PT Barnum was a BRILLIANT and I cannot believe how under celebrated he is in financial education. This book should be more popular than Rich Dad Poor Dad. I have several copies and routinely give them away to people I think might care about their finances.

Good for the money beginner but not super in depth. Seems along the lines of the Richest Man in Babylon but not quite as good at telling the story of money. However there are a few small gems that are worth the paltry price for this ebook.

In the Art of Money Getting, originally published in 1880, P.T. Barnum offers readers practical advise on business and personal finance that his highly applicable in today's world. As I read, I couldn't stop thinking about the parallels between how most people in the 1800's thought about money and how most people today think about money. A highly relevant text.This is the nicest print edition of this classic work I could find on Amazon.

Easy and simple to understand and accomplish

The financial advice that PT Barnum gives is as timely as it was back in his day. Mr. Barnum talks about the idea of saving and spending on things that have true meaning in your life, what could be truer today.

Some old thinking about money making. Don't get into debt if possible. Make sure your product is something people will buy. Advertise it repeatedly. Be nice to your customers. Know your craft well. Be the best in your field. I don't see these things as getting riches flowing.

Gives good perspective how to lead a successful life.It is short good read. You can spare 2 hours on it.It helped me to brush up my life’s core values.
