Franklin's Way to Wealth; or, "Poor Richard Improved"

by Benjamin Franklin

The almanac proverbs about money, collected into one short speech.

Franklin gathered the sayings on work, saving, and debt he had scattered through Poor Richard's Almanack and framed them as a speech by an old man to a crowd waiting at an auction. It is where a good deal of English-language money advice literally comes from, in a form you can read in half an hour.
