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.
Barnum's 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.
