Summary
Most people want more money. Benjamin Franklin starts with what they do with the money they already have.

First published in 1758, *The Way to Wealth* brings together Franklin's memorable advice on earning, saving, spending, work, and debt. Through the voice of Father Abraham, Franklin challenges familiar excuses and exposes the habits that keep people from building lasting prosperity.

His message is direct: time is valuable, idleness is expensive, wasteful spending has consequences, and earning money means little if you cannot manage what you keep. Long before modern personal finance became an industry, Franklin was examining the everyday decisions behind financial security and wealth.

This Modern English Edition updates dated language for clearer, more natural listening while preserving the original work's central lessons and arguments.

Human-narrated by Luke Meinier Dalofin—not synthetic AI voice narration—this edition also includes a substantial companion at the end, extending Franklin's ideas through further explanation and reflection for contemporary listeners.

For listeners interested in personal finance, wealth-building, saving money, frugality, debt, financial discipline, and practical wisdom about making better use of what they earn.
