Description

In ancient Egypt, while Egyptians were embracing a prolonged season of good harvest, a looming financial disaster is about to unfold. In a large Israelite household, two brothers, Benjamin and Reuben, navigate through these uncertain times differently. The youngest son Benjamin, follows after his father in the path of prudence, while the eldest son Reuben, is a self-assured person who is determined to achieve his own success.

Many times, we can relate ourselves to Benjamin and Reuben. While both brothers desire financial stability and success, Benjamin embraced the teachings of the Financial Ruler while Reuben neglects to apply it. Financial literacy is important, and has impact on our lives. Using the Financial Ruler, we can suitably prepare for different seasons in our lives.

Foreword

Rise of the Financial Ruler is enjoyable to read as it depicts various beneficial investment practices as part of a story. It is useful to both cautious and careless investors because of its wide array of possible investment scenarios.
Over the years, we have seen numerous market turmoil that have impacted the lives of many individuals regardless of whether they have been invested in the market or not. Even in periods of severe economic unrest, there will always be two groups of people; Those who are hurt, and those who have gained from by the crises. What is the key factor that separates these two groups? The answer lies in the main message of this book: the critical need for financial intelligence.
Very often, I hear people talking about the complexities of understanding how to manage their personal finances. This book comes at the opportune moment to dispel myths with a simple and short fable that aptly encapsulates the important principles of mastering one’s financial future.
A tremendous amount of effort has been put into the creation of this book, and its story will certainly be enlightening to all members of any society. The contents in the book is a cumulation of experience and wisdom Paul has gained over the years, and they will continue to be true so long as the concept of money exists.
This book can be life-changing. By understanding the lessons within, it would be easier for anyone to manage and grow their wealth, and I’m sure, will be a classic for years to come.

Introduction

It was a peaceful period in Egypt. The long and arduous war had finally ended, and the civilians were all working diligently, each doing their own part to help rebuild the economy. Whenever the sun rose, crowds of people would be seen travelling down dirt tracks, joyfully chatting with each other as they walked towards the fields, the farms, or wherever they were working at. Only when the sun begins to turn amber did the people brush their perspiration off their brow, drop their tools, look out across the fields, and head home together in accomplishment. Such was a typical day in the Egyptian empire at that time.

Somewhere in the outskirts of Egypt, in one of the households were 12 brothers.

As the eldest brother, Reuben was entrusted by his parents to look after his younger brothers. He grew up being the “boss” of them, and called the shots in the house. Benjamin, on the other hand, was the youngest in the family. It was only natural for him to be humble and obedient, and constantly looking up to Reuben and the others. It was ingrained in Benjamin’s mind since young that whatever his brothers had gone through, he would go through as well. He understood that life has its predictability, and made up of various stages that one should be prepared for. Benjamin is observant and absorbs keenly from his brothers’ experiences. Beca
