The Art of Money-Getting: Golden Rules for Making Money

First published in 1880 by P.T. Barnum The Art of Money Getting is a short book encouraging the general public to aspire to wealth through proper economic means: building a savings collecting on interest operating business with integrity learning the true value of money working for what you earn and foregoing extravagances in order to live a more modest lifestyle where saving money is the goal. Based on P.T. Barnums own experiences as a showman and businessman he outlines a way of life rather than a get-rich-quick scheme. Despite its 19th-century publication date his advice is remarkably relevant and will be of interest to young and old readers alike who desire to be more responsible with their finances.
