Part 6/11:
The third principle emphasizes putting your savings to work—not letting coins sit idle. Arad recounted his first investments, such as loans to a craftsman, which yielded interest and compounded the principal over time.
He illustrated this with the story of a farmer who invested a small sum for his son’s future, demonstrating that gold itself is passive; it multiplies when properly invested. The lesson: invest your saved wealth prudently so it earns more gold, creating a stream of income that sustains and grows your fortune.
