Part 6/13:
One night, the moneylender, Al Ghamish, revealed a crucial secret: "A part of all you earn is yours to keep." He explained that every penny spent on clothes, food, or entertainment was a penny that could have been invested. If one saved at least ten percent, that portion would generate more wealth over time—compounding like a growing tree from a tiny seed.
Arad adopted this lesson wholeheartedly. He began to set aside a tenth of every earning, regardless of how humble, and resisted impulsive spending, especially on fleeting pleasures. Although initially it seemed that little change occurred, the weekly and monthly savings accumulated, and he found himself financially freer with each passing year.
