This book enlightened me regarding just how large number of "rich" people work and live smart. A very personally influential book.

Rated: A-Absolutely a must read especially for young adults just starting their careers. Wish I knew and had the discipline to follow their simple advice toward wealth accumulation rather than income spending. At least I trying to teach our kids the value of tithing, saving and investing. Great book also for entrepreneurs whose net worth is growing the businesses.

Alright, but I wasn't a big fan of the writing style. It seemed to repeat the same points too much, and lose the reader's interest in a whirlwind of statistics. I'd consider "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez as an alternative to this book.

Very basic - spend less than you earn. What the book really comes down to is how people view wealth. Needs to be updated.

I liked this a lot. Reminds me now of Jim Collins work. Everything here is based on an extended profile and basic stats from surveys. It is all based on data -- not on theory or ideas from academics or others. There are specific vignettes, both of real millionaires and of folks who have a high potential to be millionaires based on their income, but are not. I would recommend this read, whether you are aspiring to be a millionaire or not; or a millionaire or not. Somewhat sociological too - tends to lead to clustering ideas that you'd like if you enjoy classifying people by tastes and consumer behavior. I'll never forget what is says about the car buying and maintenance habits of most millionaires.

Solid research and real examples make clear that millionaires don't fit the common stereotypes. This was my second reading, having read most of it in the bookstore in SF the year after it came out. Especially noteworthy are the common denominators of frugality, taking advantage of opportunities, and choosing the right work.
