The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko

​

​"....we have determined how 

ordinary people can become wealthy."

​

​"Why aren't I as wealthy as I should be?" Many people ask this question of themselves all the time. Often they are hard-working, well educated middle- to high-income people. Why, then, are so few affluent. For nearly two decades the answer has been found in the bestselling The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy. According to the authors, most people have it all wrong about how you become wealthy. Wealth is more often the result of hard work, diligent savings, and living below your means than it is about inheritance, advance degrees, and even intelligence. The authors identify seven common traits that show up again and again among those who have accumulated wealth. You will learn, for example, that millionaires bargain shop for used cars, pay a tiny fraction of their wealth in income tax, raise children who are often unaware of their family's wealth until they are adults, and, above all, reject the big-spending lifestyles most of us associate with rich people. In fact, you will learn that the flashy millionaires glamorized in the media represent only a tiny minority of the rich. Most of the wealthy in this country don't live in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue-they live next door. Amazon Book Review
