Yesterday, we set the stage for understanding money as energy, and today, we’re getting practical with wisdom straight from The Richest Man in Babylon. Let’s talk about the Seven Cures for a Lean Purse—aka, the timeless blueprint for managing money and creating wealth. Here’s the thing: when we respect the energy of money, it flows back to us, often in surprising ways.

Real-World Breakdowns of the Seven Cures:

1. Start Thy Purse to Fattening
– Save at least 10% of everything we earn. Pay ourselves first!
– Modern Take: Automatically transfer 10% of each paycheck to a savings account. The less we see, the less we spend.

2. Control Thy Expenditures
– Distinguish between needs and wants. Spend consciously.
– Modern Take: Cut subscriptions we never use, budget for joy, and say “no” to impulse buys. Netflix can wait; our future self can’t.

3. Make Thy Gold Multiply
– Put money to work through investments, even small ones.
– Modern Take: Explore high-yield savings, index funds, or even that first tiny crypto investment. It’s about momentum.

4. Guard Thy Treasures from Loss
– Avoid risky decisions. Seek advice from trusted sources.
– Modern Take: No “get rich quick” schemes. Research before we invest—our energy deserves careful direction.

5. Make of Thy Dwelling a Profitable Investment
– Own where we live to reduce long-term costs.
– Modern Take: Renting isn’t bad, but consider investments that build equity, like a home, REITs, or property funds.

6. Ensure a Future Income
– Plan for the future, even if it feels far away.
– Modern Take: Contribute to retirement accounts, and don’t sleep on compound interest. Future us will thank us.

7. Increase Thy Ability to Earn
– Sharpen skills and learn new ones to increase earning potential.
– Modern Take: Take online courses, learn about new trends (hello, Web3!), and say yes to growth opportunities.

The Energy Connection

These cures aren’t just about money; they’re about aligning our habits with our goals. When we save, spend, and invest with intention, we’re honoring the energy of abundance. It’s like Wu Wei: acting effortlessly with money’s flow instead of against it.

Does our spending habits support the life we want to create? Where can we give money clearer direction to grow? Let’s start applying these “cures” one step at a time because the energy we put into our financial growth comes back tenfold.
