About The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets
Product Description A New York Times bestseller for eighty-nine weeks. Learn the seven common denominators that show up again and again among people who have built their personal fortunes from scratch -- then put these lessons to work for you! Amazon.com Review 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. Review The implication of The Millionaire Next Door...is that nearly anybody with a steady job can amass a tidy fortune., Forbes The kind of information that could lift the economic prospects of individuals more than any government policy... The Millionaire Next Door has a theme that I think rings very true..."Hey, I can do it. You can do it too!" -- Rush Limbaugh [A] Remarkable book., The Washington Post A nerve has been hit....[For] people who want to become wealthy., USA Today A primer for amassing wealth through frugality., The Boston Globe An interesting sociological work., Business Week A fascinating examination of the affluent in American society., The Dispatch (Lexington, NC), (Nc) Dispatch These, for the wise, are tips for all of us....A very readable book., Cox News Service Debunks the image of the rich as high-living spendthrifts., U.S. News and World Report I love the book, The Millionaire Next Door. It talks about how it is a myth that most millionaires in America have inherited their money. The fact is, we have created such a great country over 250 years. We have actually found the way for poor people to go from nothing to huge wealth and to create a life-changing opportunity for their children and grandchildren. We celebrate it, write movies about it, and our libraries are full of books about it. There is nothing wrong with that. -- Bernie Sanders About the Author Thomas J. Stanley is an author, lecturer, and researcher who has studied the affluent since 1973. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia. William D. Danko is an associate professor of marketing in the School of Business, University at Albany, State University of New York.
