Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Poor Richard's Almanack
Benjamin Franklin · 1928
78/100
👍 Worth It
Franklin's proverbs on thrift and hard work are as sharp and quotable as ever, and this classic has earned its place in American letters. Just know this 1928 printing is a decorative reprint, not the original 18th-century almanac, and the format is scattered wisdom rather than a structured plan.
