"Good book. Explains how anyone can become a millionaire if they handle their money right. One hint: no matter how much money you make, if you spend it all you will never be a millionaire. Frugality and saving are just 2 things it talks about, even for those with a giant paycheck. Also makes a compelling case for how to get your children to be financially independent and how to help start them on the millionaire track as well."

— Orlando Sentinel" I love this book. Good advice that no one wants to hear, like don't buy a new car. As an artist, managing my money is tricky, and this book is a big help in establishing financial priorities. remember, more $=less crap you have to do make money!! "
— Sara, 2/12/2014" I loved this book. The author based his findings on years of research into millionaires and discovered that most do not live in mansions or owns porsches or designer clothes. Quite the contrary which I found fascinating. If you plan on becoming a millionaire, it aint too late. The key message I gained from this book was FRUGAL-FRUGAL-FRUGAL!!! An inspiring read. "
— Ashanti, 2/11/2014" Wow! What a terrific book. I should have it full finished by the end of the day. Really makes you rethink the entire way we've been raise regarding money, and "image of American affluence." Good stuff. Hope every college student reads and takes this to heart. I wish I had been armed with this knowledge in my twenties... "

— Tracy, 1/24/2014" I've read through this book twice. A lot of good information on changing your thinking to become wealthy. It debunks many myths of who is wealth and not judging a book by its cover. "

— Linda, 12/28/2013" Eye opening! Very interesting book on research done on REAL Millionaires, that dont live like millionaires. Thy might even live next door to you and you don't even know! I don't want to be big hat no cattle. I want to be a PAW rather than a UAW! :). Cool read. "
— Laura, 12/26/2013" I've decided I need to alternate fiction with non-fiction, to broaden my mind...or something like that. This was very interesting. I found the stats to get a little repetitive, but the case studies were just fascinating. Unfortunately, millionaire status is still out of reach :) "
— Jenna, 12/11/2013" Very memorable and thought provoking. "
— Katrina, 9/29/2013" I remember loving this book...read it a long time ago. It is a classic. Hope to read it again. Many things have changed but I do remember simple rules to follow that will never change. "
— Charlane, 8/30/2013" This is a fascinating study about the accumulation of wealth, and the behavior of "under accumulators of wealth." Very insightful and valuable in developing a financially healthy lifestyle. "
— Will, 8/21/2013" the only financial book I recommend to my clients "

— Laurie, 5/2/2013" It blows away misconceptions of who/what wealthy is today. "
— Brenda, 1/19/2013" I liked this book as it shows that millionaires can be of different types and styles. And the insights such as cars and stuff the millionaires revealed were a bit surprising. Inspiring to those who want to become millionaires but not sure what to be to be a millionaire. :) "
— Azmir, 10/21/2012" Information was a little dated as far as facts and figures, but the concepts remain the same. Interesting to see how wealth is or is not passed down in families. "
— Holly, 10/7/2012" why I drive a crappy car and likely always will! "
— Catherine, 9/27/2012" This is more like a textbook but the nuggets that you pick out from it are worth reading. I look at people in a whole different light now. "
— Sally, 7/4/2012" apparently I'll never be rich... couldn't get through this "
— Gail, 5/26/2012" summary, live beneath your means. there, you can skip the book. "
— Dianne, 3/2/2012" This book reminds me of why I should continue to pinch my pennies. "
— Rosa, 8/19/2011" Really a poor book mostly because there isn't much more information than in his first book The millionaire next door. This book has updated info from millionaires but you really don't learn anything more than the first book. So I recommend the first one and to leave this one to the side. "
— Taylor, 4/14/2011" This was very interesting and fascinating. It's fun learn about what makes a millionaire tick. "
— Lex, 4/2/2011" Best book to read right out of college. "
— Brad, 3/30/2011" I thought this book was very eye opening. It made me consider habits and ways of thinking that I had and see what type of impact they could be having on my "potential" millionaire status. A very important book! "
— Jaye, 3/28/2011" It is one of its kind. The examples were practical. Language was easy to understand. Fact got stuck in my head which means the book got its message across. "
— ericaisrich, 2/21/2011" Surprising findings. Not what you would think. "
— Aaron, 12/29/2010" Book provides an insight on how truly wealthy people view money. This is a must read for near college graduates so they do not make the mistakes of the non-wealthy. "
— Spencer, 12/12/2010" Very good. Either read this or "The Millionaire Next Door," though I think I prefer the Next Door one better. No need to read both. "
— Alicia, 12/7/2010" This book is fabulous!! I actually have the CD's and just keep it in my car... i ALWAYS find something new it seems I missed previous. I'm currently listening for I think the 3rd or 4th time. Maybe one day it will sync in with my thinking! :) "
— Elizabeth, 10/12/2010" A great book that corrects the myths about millionaires. They are not workaholics, they spend a lot of time with their family, and are mostly private and conservative stewards of their money. "
— Ryan, 9/13/2010" I enjoyed reading this book. Dr. Stanley has done a lot of research into the lives of American millionaires. I now have a better understanding of the values and lifestyles of affluent people and how they became that way. "
— Richmond, 5/6/2010" I like the Millionaire Next Door Better "
