Description: “The Way to Wealth,” also known as “Poor Richard Improved,” by Benjamin Franklin is a short essay that focuses on how people can achieve financial success and live a responsible life. The work is written as a speech made by a character named Father Abraham, who shares advice based on popular sayings from Poor Richard’s Almanack. Franklin emphasizes the importance of hard work, saving money, managing time wisely, and avoiding laziness and unnecessary spending.
