Almost 30 years ago I heard a story called The Richest Man in Babylon and it left a lasting impression. It is a parable about gaining wealth. Although, I didn't really view it as gaining wealth as much as being about common sense money management.
The story can be summed up in one sentence and it is; a part of all you earn is yours to keep. The story goes on with rich detail about the lessons learned by a young laborer who wanted to be financially independent. He was neither greedy nor a cheat. He simply saved his way to prosperity over a period of time.
I recommend reading The Richest Man in Babylon because it makes great sense.
