"The Art of Money Getting" by P.T. Barnum is a classic guide that offers timeless wisdom on achieving financial success and personal wealth.

Published in 1880, the book covers various aspects of business and personal conduct, providing insights into the importance of frugality, wise investment, and resource management.

P. T. Barnum was known as the "Greatest Salesman In The World"—for a very good reason. He ran one of the most profitable, entertaining businesses during his time. His people loved and admired him, and he taught them principles of success that they could apply in all aspects of their lives. These bits of wisdom are as true today as they were when he applied them 150 years ago.

P. T. Barnum, the great American showman of the 19th century, wrote this short book about making and keeping money. He certainly had life experiences that qualify him for the subject--he started a small newspaper in his twenties, bought and transformed a museum into a showplace for curiosities, built a circus empire that gave performances in America and Europe, promoted a performing tour of a singer, fell into debt in the 1850s and pulled himself out by lecture tours, was a mayor, and founded a hospital.

P. T. Barnum's lecture, "The Art of Money-Getting", extolls his virtues for success in business. He warns people to not believe in false economy. The simplest pattern for success, he says, is to spend less than we make.

P. T. Barnum was perhaps best known for establishing the Barnum and Bailey Circus in the late 1800's, and the recent smash hit movie starring Hugh Jackman called "The Greatest Showman" is based on his life. This book is called "Golden Rules for Making Money" and contains excellent guidance on the "do's" and "don'ts" essential for success. It includes valuable insight on not just the making of money but how best to keep and grow what you have made.
