The #1 Rule of Wealth from Ancient Babylon
The most transformative financial advice is often the simplest. In The Richest Man in Babylon, George S. Clason presents the unbreakable rule that has built fortunes for centuries: a part of all you earn is yours to keep.
This principle, often called 'Pay Yourself First,' is a profound constitutional shift. It reframes saving not as a leftover activity but as the primary and most important allocation of your income. Before the landlord, the grocer, or the tax collector gets their share, you secure a portion for your own future. This is the essence of seizing financial control, the first step in our S3 SECURED methodology.
Implementing this is simple. Automate a transfer of at least 10% of every paycheck into a dedicated savings or investment vehicle. This removes willpower from the equation and guarantees that you are consistently building your foundation. It is the minimum effective dose of financial discipline that yields the greatest long-term results, creating the capital necessary for security and investment. This single habit is the difference between a life of financial struggle and one of financial empowerment.
