Rating: Summary: It shows many things people do & don't to accumulate wealth. Review: This book covers every aspect of a millionaries life stlye, from the basics of not buying a house you can't afford to what kind of cars most milioners drive. Excelent book for people that drive $40,000 autos and live in $350,00 homes and make $100,000+ a year but have little or no investments and knowledge of money management.
Rating: Summary: Great way to refute misconceptions regarding the wealthy Review: An inspirational read ! Examples in the book were excellent references to emmulate. One drawback was the high degree of repetition. I could have scanned one third of the book. Overall, the book and its message are proven and should be a must read for anyone who would like to accumulate wealth.
Rating: Summary: Prototypical American Millionaire Review: If you are in the top quartile for wealth accumulation, you are a PAW or prodigious accumulator of wealth. You live well below your means. You wear inexpensive suits and drive American-made older model year automobiles. Frugal - frugal - frugal are three words that profile the affluent. A good title but the book would be more effective by being 75% shorter and edited by authors with known gifts for writing.
Rating: Summary: Now I know how Dad and Mom did it. Review: Well written, practical, useful advice, easy to implement. Above all, it is the single best way to become wealthy.
Rating: Summary: Loved it! Should be required reading in the school system.. Review: Great book. Explains that the REAL money makers are the ones with goals, hard work, and discipline..... READ THIS BOOK
Rating: Summary: A "must read" for millionaire wana-bees Review: Ive read alot of the personal finance/wealth-building books over the years, and this is the best one I've read. This is not rocket science, but it so contrary to what we have been lead to believe about individual wealth, I found it to be very valuable. Five stars !!
Rating: Summary: Very informative - An Eye-Opener!!! Review: I found this book to be very informative as to how typical wealthy indivuals got that way. What their lifestyle is, beliefs are, what they are willing to spend alot of money on and what they won't spend on. This book is a practical, no non-sense, statistical data-oriented approach to discovering what it takes to become wealthy over the period of one's life. This book explains what's important to the wealthy and what's not. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Over and over and over and over..... Review: If the authors would have stopped after the first couple of chapters, they may have rated 2 stars. Instead they took the obvious and beat it to death giving their readers little mercy. It sort of reminded me of the book Wealth Without Risk, another no brainer that Charles made a fortune on.My advice don't make these idiots any wealtheir by buying their book.
Rating: Summary: Great lesson for young people! Review: I've lived by these principles my whole life (now 46) and have lived a great life full of luxuries. I could have lived even better (no planes, no first class trips or third and fourth homes) but I always think about what tomorrow might bring. It's not really about penny pinching, it's about thinking of the future!!
Rating: Summary: Everyone in America should read this book Review: Before I read this book I believed that most millionaires inherited their wealth or were movie/basketball stars that lived in million dollar houses and paid for outrageous luxuries. Now I understand that it isn't what you make and spend that can make you a millionaire. It is what you make and do NOT spend. This book has been an inspiration to me. I may never be a millionaire, but I certainly intend to try!
