The Ancient 1/3 Money Rule: 8 Laws from Solomon's Proverbs and the Talmud

Online, a famous money rule is credited to King Solomon: divide your wealth in three, one third in land, one third in trade, one third in your hand. It is a good rule, but it is not Solomon's. It comes from the Talmud, from Rabbi Yitzhak, more than a thousand years later. In this video you will discover eight laws of money from the ancient Jewish tradition: the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes (both traditionally linked to Solomon), the Book of Kings, and the Talmud. Every quote comes from the real text, with the source below.
