The Secret of Wealth
An exposition of the philosophy and practice of acquiring wealth and the experience of the ages in the accumulation of money and property.
This book was first published in 1923, but its principles still stand true and applicable in the world's confusing and chaotic financial muddle of today.
Consequently we have not only published the full text on this website for your easy reading, but have created a simple, easily printed verison in Adobe .pdf format, readable on nearly every computer or other such device, and made it available for instant download. Just click here to get your own copy.
Here's a sample: The book's Forward begins:
"Money does all things; for it gives and it takes away, it makes honest men and knaves, fools and philosophers; and so on to the end of the chapter."-- L'Estrange.
IS MONEY WEALTH? The number of men and women who can now be laying away small fortunes is almost incredible.
At the same time they can live well, dress well, and surround themselves and their families with all needful comforts and educational advantages.
Money is not wealth.
Earning thousands of dollars brings nothing to any one--unless it is so spent that "while one lives one may enjoy more fully the good things of life." The first of all good things is that one shall have comfort and independence as long as he lives -- that means putting money by.
"To maintain prosperity is harder than to acquire it."
