The Art of Money Getting

I got this book as a gift for an ambitious youngster. It is a great, quick read for anyone seeking financial freedom.

Becoming wealthy is simple but hard to do because much of it is against our nature, P. T. brings these biases to light for self reflection

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.

I did enjoy the content in this book, however it is VERY short, only about 30 pages and the print is large.PT Barnum really knew how to hustle...

Short, simple, but still value in every chapter

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.

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.

Great little book.
