Seven Cures for a Lean Purse

In my view, one of the most important books on personal financial planning is The Richest Man in Babylon, written by George Clason.

In this book two friends, who both earn a good income and are highly skilled in their respective trades, decide to ask their childhood friend Arkhad the secrets on his vast wealth. Despite the fact that Arkhad was neither more intelligent nor harder working than they were and given the fact that he did not inherit any money Arkhad was the richest man in Babylon and they were struggling to make ends meet. In this book Arkhad gives the reader the seven cures for a lean purse.

1. Start by purse fattening

“For every ten coins placed in their purse, take out for use but nine.” Most people have a steady source of income and the first step to a fat wallet is paying yourself (i.e. saving) R1 for every R10 earned.

2. Control thy expenditure

“What each of us calls our necessary expenses will always grow to equal our income unless we protest to the contrary”. People often tend to confuse necessary expenses with their desires. If you look around you will see people with varying levels of income yet very few of them have money left at the end of the month. From the domestic worker earning R 2 000 per month to the business owner earing R 100 000 per month our expenses always seem to grow faster than our income.

3. Make thy gold multiply

Once you have started paying yourself every month, you need to ensure that that money is put to work earning a real return. It is also important that any income earned is also reinvested. The compounding effect of “interest on interest” is what generates wealth.

4. Guard thy treasure from loss

Invest only where the principle is safe and were it may be reclaimed if needed. Always consult with wise men. Arkhad told his friends that his first investment had been with the baker who was going to buy precious jewels; needless to say he lost his whole investment.

5. Make thy dwelling an investment

Own thy own home. Why pay off someone else’s bond when you can pay off your own dwelling?

6. Insure a future income

You need to ensure that your family is looked after if you die “too soon”. You also need to ensure that you have an income if you are unable to work (disability) and you need to ensure that you have an income if you die “too late” (retirement).

7. Increase thy ability to earn

By increasing your earning potential through studies and hard work you will make the provision of your needs a lot easier.

Whilst the advice that is given here may appear to be far too simple, the fact of the matter is that if you implemented this advice you may not be the “richest person in Durban, Cape Town, or Johannesburg”, but you will not have a “Lean Purse”. Personal financial planning is all about being disciplined enough to do the ‘basics’, as discussed above, right.

Kind regards,

Barry Hugo
