Summary: It uncovers the secrets on how to be a millionaire
Review: Millionaire Next Door is a great book, it uncovers so many secrets on how to be a millionaire. It totally changed my perspective on how I view millionaires. Great book that will keep you reading until the next page! This book uncovers so many things, like for example, millionaires don't necessarily use extravagant credit cards, drink the best wines, wear the best clothes, or drive the best cars. Millionaires also seem to always invest any extra money, and don't necessarily show what they always have.

Summary: Millionaire next door
Review: Millionaire Next Door is a good book, it is easy reading with factual information that is seemingly unbias. This is a very interesting book, I learned a whole lot of information that I never knew before. I used to be the stereotypical american that thought only millionaires spend lots of money on lavish things that the average american may never be able to buy, until i read Millioraire Next Door.

Summary: The Millionaire Next Door
Review: I did not feel that reading this book was a waste of my time, because it was a fast read and had caught my attention several times. I do feel that by reading this book I am walking away with something I had not thought about before. The reason why I am giving this book only 3 stars is because I often felt that it was repetative. There were chapters in this book that appeared identical and I could not tell the difference between them. Overall I would recommend this book as a fast read to anyone who has a few extra hours on their hands.

Summary: Provident, discipline, & frugal
Review: A good read, but filled with many statistics that are skewed by a small sample of millionaires. I enjoyed the direction the authors took to describe the LIFESTYLES of the wealthy compared to the spendthrift. I did have a problem with a general overtone of the author's message, that the wealthy are so preoccupied with frugality that they don't enjoy a premium lifestyle. I just don't buy it. Where were the stat's on vacations, perks, education, etc? Worth the read to develop a different perspective, but don't bank on the stats that drive all its suggestions; however, the book was very well researched for its small sample.

Summary: Keep on hand to keep you from doing stupid things
Review: Gosh, how often I should have had this book whenever I made a big purchase (like my car, for instance). That's my first thought .... Seriously, you never read about these kind of millionaires. Maybe it's because millionaires like these don't make tremendosuly interesting reading. Donald Trump is so much more exciting. BUT ... most people don't need to be Donald Trump. You don't need to make the society pages to have a satisfying financial life. You don't need to be Trump and have fancy things in order to love your children, live in a good home, drive decent and reliable transportation and enjoy your short time here on earth. This book teaches you, over and over again, what is worth having, and what isn't.

Summary: Statistical Methodolgy "Questionable" but good Anecdotes
Review: I like the book in general, but hated the ending. On the VERY LAST PAGE, (the 3rd to last sentence) the authors state ALL their statistical evidence is based on the results from surveys of only 385 "Millionaire families". 385! Do you have any idea of the statistical inaccuracies that can result from such a small sample group? No wonder they buried this piece of information. It would be like a political pollster asking people of conservative area a question, then stating that's how all Americans felt. Plus the way they use the statistics only help to confuse the reader, not make their point. Their anecdotal evidence is much better. There is a lot to learn from the stories they tell. As a whole, I liked the book. But I never like it when authors try to slip one past me.

Summary: A must have!
Review: As a financial advisor, I recommend this book to my clients. The writing is empowering... and it serves as a perfect guide for those who want to be millionaires, but aren't winning the lottery or getting $15 mil to make a movie. And for the latter, it serves as an excellent grounding for how to keep those millions.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This is such an excellent book. It is really a good read for everyone and is definitely an eye-opener. I would have never guessed that most millionaires live in middle-class and upper middle-class neighborhoods and that they usually do not drive expensive import luxury vehicles and don't belong to country clubs. I suppose not buying luxury consumer goods was a big contributor to their financial success, along with extensive saving and investing plans. This book does state that being thrifty will really help you become wealthy, but it also infers that you don't have to deprive yourself of every luxury to build wealth. If you are looking for a book to tell you how to invest to become wealthy, this book is NOT for you. However, if you are looking for a book to find out simple common-sense behaviors you can partake in to assist you in building wealth (along with saving and investing), this book does a marvelous job.
