Law #5
"Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment."- The Richest Man in Babylon
The fifth principle in managing your wealth is to be cautious of unrealistic promises and schemes, and to avoid trusting your money to inexperienced or untrustworthy individuals. Investment fraud is a common occurrence and it is important to be vigilant to protect your wealth.
Be wary of companies or individuals who offer unrealistic returns or who use high-pressure tactics to entice you to invest. With the rise of the internet and cryptocurrencies, it is more important than ever to be aware of the potential for fraud.
This principle serves as a reminder to be patient and not to rush into investments with false expectations. It also advises to be cautious of anyone approaching you with a business proposal, and to be mindful of your own inexperience and emotions when it comes to investing.
Remember, building wealth takes time and it is important to safeguard your earnings by being cautious and informed about your investment choices.
