Book Reviews of The Millionaire Next Door

Book Review: Not what you'd expect..
Summary: 3 Stars

"Affluent" as defined by Websters dictionary, is "having a generously sufficient and typically increasing supply of material possessions", not really the millionaire next door that this book has studied. Upon reading the book further, I became disheartened. I want to be a millionaire, but do I want to be the millionaire described in this book? Do most millionaires really look like this? Several people I know came to mind that fit the description of the typical millionaire in their study. They are very very frugal and spend A LOT of time thinking about, managing, and planning their money and investments. These are usually not people who are the life of the party. Actually, they're usually not invited to parties. Not a lot of fun to be around. They are persistent accumulators of more and more wealth. They are not givers naturally. The book continues to use the term "affluent" over and over, but these people are not affluent, in lifestyle or generosity.

Summary of The Millionaire Next Door

How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling.

The incredible national bestseller that is changing people's lives -- and increasing their net worth!
