"This book was recommended during my Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class. I learned that most millionaires live below their means. If someone "looks" like a millionaire, they probably don't have a lot of net worth. There is a difference between high income and truly wealthy. Most of the millionaires do not have high monthly income (salary). Most of their wealth is from investments, savings, and other non-taxable income. The authors studied the habits of millionaires and compiled an interesting database of facts. Some of the math was incomprehensible to me, but what they gleaned from the results was interesting."

“The implication of The Millionaire Next Door…is that nearly anybody with a steady job can amass a tidy fortune.”
— Forbes“It’s evident that anyone can accumulate wealth, if they are disciplined enough, determined to persevere, and have the merest of luck.”
— Library Journal" This book was interesting, but did not realize it was written in the 1930's. "
— greg, 2/10/2025" What I learned: Be frugal and marry an equally frugal teacher (hopefully an attractive one). "
— Bob, 2/17/2014" Ever want to take your financial dealings properly in hand! This is certainly the book for you! The information stored within it changed my attitudes towards saving, spending, and investing. A financial bible in times of recession. "
— Jo, 2/10/2014" I've read this book twice now. It amazed me both times although it is a bit clinical and boring at times. What people don't know about the rich is exactly what keeps them from being rich. Most people in America think being rich means driving a fancy car and wearing expensive clothes. What a joke. That explains why our country is bankrupt morally and financially. This should be required reading for Congress. "
— Cliff, 2/9/2014" Great read on understanding the importance of saving vs spending. Becoming a millionaire is more about your attitude than it is about how great your income stream is. "
— Amie, 2/4/2014" This book makes me think... maybe the guy next door who has a small house and drives a ten-year-old car is a millionaire! "
— Rick, 1/29/2014" I love the IDEA of this book, but I thought it was pretty boring to read, to be honest. I think I could read a synopsis of this book and get enough out of it for my interest. Great, great principles, but not very readable. (At least for me, since I have so little time to read, so I need something that really draws me in!) "
— Steph, 1/28/2014" I found this book soo entertaing! I love how it said Scottish people were frugal, lol...my husband is Scottish and yeah-that's true! Basically it says most people who have money have it b/c they work hard and save it. I liked that. "
— Jillian, 1/28/2014" Another perspective on what to do with money, and why being frugal is a better than being consumerist and shallow. "
— Kara, 1/13/2014" A completely eye-opening look into the real habits of TRUE millionaires. This is one of a small list of books that has laid the foundation for how I think about money, business, class, and politics. "
