Where can we get reliable financial advice?
We read conflicting and continually changing viewpoints on interest rates, condition of the economy, how to budget, where to invest, how to earn money, and all kinds of financial counsel.
Is there a source of unchanging, cross-cultural financial counsel which really works - all the time?
I believe the answer is YES! It is found in the oldest, most published, most translated and distributed book of all time. Its origin is divine. It is the communiqué of God Almighty to humanity. Its financial counsel is the best! One of its contributing authors was King Solomon, responsible for the Proverbs in the Old Testament.
What? Is this religious? I hate religious stuff!
Well then forget religion. Can you do that?
How about taking some tips from the richest and smartest person on the planet - King Solomon. Solomon's capital city, Jerusalem, had so much wealth that silver was not considered valuable.
Although Jews, Catholics, and Protestants have many differences, they all agree that Solomon's writings are divinely inspired, that is, 100% truthful and trustworthy.
There are 915 verses in the 31 chapters of Proverbs. According to my analysis about 245* relate directly or indirectly to finances.
What would you like to know about money?
Look for the advice you need from one of four perspectives shown on the menu above.

Read the text and think about it.
