The Richest Man In Babylon

Long story short; Nothing has changed in five thousand years. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good, because the ways out of slavery haven't changed either. But bad, because some of us just can't get out of this loop. Thankfully, Dabasir engraved some steps that can be taken on the path to financial freedom on a clay tablets five thousand years ago and whose accuracy has not changed for generations.

You can guess how Dabasir became a slave. Think about how you got your first credit card. Why did you apply? Because sometimes you spend more than you earn. Now you can have almost everything you want in installments with your credit cards. In addition to this, maybe your income is increasing from year to year, you get promotions and you go from success to success in your career. Do you notice anything? The more you earn, the more you spend. This is how Dabasir became a slave; he spent more than he earned, got into debt, and he could not pay his debts.

But Dabasir was determined. He had the spirit of a free man, and he had to be free. After being a slave for a while in Syria, he fled and came to Babylon to face his debts. He had three goals:

1. Separating one-tenth of his earnings,
2. Meeting his basic needs with the seven out of tenth,
3. Paying his debts in installments with the remaining.

 He became a camel trader and paid for his debts in a long time and got his freedom.

 And that's it. What did you expect? A Dabasir who ran from battle to battle and became rich with spoils? He was a simple slave like us.
