Publisher Description
When Richard Paul Evans was twelve, his father, a building contractor, shattered both his legs. With no insurance, no income, and eight children, the family was destitute. At that difficult time young Evans was introduced to a kind multimillionaire who taught him the five secrets of wealth. Today, Evans credits those lessons not just with bringing him wealth and success but also bringing him freedom and opportunity in a world where financial slavery is ubiquitous.
In his signature motivational voice, Evans interweaves those influential lessons with personal stories from everyday people. He explains that money should not be the preoccupation of our lives. Rather, if we follow the five principles, we will be free to focus on God, family, and relationships -- the true nourishments of life.
Wise and compelling, The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth will leave you with a new view of what it means to be rich -- and convinced that you, too, can build wealth. The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth is endorsed by financial consultants, churches, schools, and marriage counselors.

"I really liked the tips this book gave. There were a number of good lessons. I felt as though he left out some very important things that we need to do though. He doesn't mention an emergency fund, the importance of insurance, where you should save your 10% in as much detail as I would like. Luckily my husband was a business major and I'm taking personal finance so we can fill in the blanks. Over all it was a very good read and I felt like it's simplicity helped me grasp some aspects of finance better."

It'll make a lot of new golfers -- good golfers.

“Evan’ pithy little financial guide lays out the five principles common to many self-made fortune…Thankfully, Evans forgoes the cloying, self-aggrandizing prose common to how-to-be-rich-like-me books and refrains from padding the volume with ads for tie-in ventures. Instead his friendly advice brings the secrets of wealth accumulation to common readers.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“[Evans] would like readers to learn what he learned from a millionaire whom he met as a teenager…The real requirement, Evans posits, is putting into practice five principles of wealth accumulation, which Evans explains and illustrates in cogent, lively terms.”

" Quick read. Pretty basic stuff. "
— Adam, 2/4/2014 -
" This book is good. Save money and you'll have money. Borrow money and you'll not have money. It really is that simple. Buying debt is the worst purchase you can make, you're really just giving something and getting nothing. "
— W.C., 1/31/2014 -
" My parents gave this book to all of their children as a gift. I think this is one of the best financial books out there. It's practical, and doable, and makes sense. After reading this, I was fired up to make some financial changes in my life. I feel that if you do follow these guidelines, anyone can be a millionaire! The key is sticking with it. "
— Holly, 1/29/2014 -
" Loved it. Very good at explaining basic finances and how to become financially free in a way that I could understand. It was also very easy to read. This is not the book to read if you're looking for a way to get rich. It's simply a self help book to help you overcome the daunting mentality of financial responsibility. "

— Ken, 5/9/2013 -

" After I read this book, someone in the finance world told me that the author did not make his millions off books, but rather off pyramid schemes. They didn't think too highly of him. I would imagine all the principles are taught in every finance management books, but it is an interesting read. "
