Beautifully read! It highlights the Great Ben's sense of humour- I would bet my bottom dollar that he is taking the piss with this piece-there is evidence elsewhere that he had subtlety and great personal depth - a deep sense of irony, which Americans generally seem to find a difficult intellectual quality to come to terms with, or so it would seem. after this years crazy behaviour at the highest political levels. Enough said! thank you for this entertaining and informative piece! A great way to spend 20-odd mins -priceless!

Written 200 years ago and still applies to this day. Yet, in the US we spend our money on Louis Vitton bags and vacations to impress other people that couldn’t care less about us. I humbly ask for guidance to be more like Poor Richard.

After listening to this; my short summary of the way to wealth:
1. Industry - up early, working and not idle
2. Frugality & prudence in spending (the most important point)
3. Ask humbly of the blessings of Heaven

Whoever is narrating this book should narrate every book. The reading cadence is close to perfect and every italic word articulated with the correct emotion. One of the most soothing audio book recording ever made.

Excellent well read classic work. I find it interesting that Charlie Munger quotes Ben Franklin and Ben Franklin quotes Richard Saunders! Frugality, etc. are not new ideas! I love it! Time tested!

Read this for fun while I was in High School. I think it left a good impression on me and imprinted on my subconscious somehow. However cannot say I have followed the advice perfectly!

I suppose he had nothing about accepting dozens of times more debt for college than could ever be paid back, and then to harangue the taxpayers for the right to discharge the debt.

By the powers invested in me, although very little and large, I believe that Benjamin Franklin ranks as one the greatest men of all times.

Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
This quote will stick with me forever.

The narrator mispronounces sloth, probably never having used the word. The word rhymes with cloth, not oath.

And only two years on formal schooling. There's something to be said for being a four-eyed bookworm.

This is how they keep people small by asking them to save rather than asking them to invest.
