Summary: A Must Read
Comment: This was a surprising book, because it goes against popular myth as to who are the wealthy and why.

If politicians and business leaders had read this book, we may not have gotten ourselves into the current financial mess!

Summary: Good Read
Comment: Quite the eye-opener about how many supposedly rich people are actually being supported by their parents. I did think it had a lot of undertones about how being cheap, I mean frugal, was noble in its own right and there's nothing worth spending money on except charity and education. But it was motivational, inspirational and educational.

Summary: this book exceeded my expectations
Comment:
This is the best book I have read in months.

I think the authors could have made just as strong a case with half the number of pages, but I would still give this book `6-stars' if I could.

Why?

1 - It's an easy and inspiring read.
2 - It's free of unnecessarily poetic language.
3 - It's free of unfounded claims. The authors `opinion' is not the essence of the book.
2 - The evidences are strong and speak for themselves.
4 - It tells you something you couldn't just guess.
5 - It has a lasting impact on your thinking.

I must add one thing. When people say they want to be rich, what I believe they mean is: how can I make lots of money. That's not the question this book focuses on.

This book shows you who are the people who make up the large majority of millionaires in this country (less than 5% of households), how much they make, what they do for living, what kind of live they live, what kind of parents they have, how they manage their money, etc.

Fascinating book! I strongly recommend it.

Summary: Self-help book for sale
Comment: If you are a cardiologist pulling in more than $300,000 a year, waste all your money on country clubs and Range Rovers and can't figure out why you haven't banked a million bucks yet, this is the book for you. Well, it would be if you had the humility to follow advice. However, if you are trying to raise three kids on a government mid-manager's $40,000 a year and would like to improve your plight, this author has little use for you. I would be $10 closer to being a millionaire if I hadn't bought this book. Hey - at least I did buy it used.

Summary: Realistic Approach for Accumulating Wealth
Comment: The authors of this book give a more realistic approach on how to join the ranks of America's wealthy. Always live well below your means is one of the rules. There are others. The authors discover that most of the wealthy households were not located in upscale neighborhoods. These people also drove ordinary cars, work the right jobs and dont dine out as much. These people are in complete opposites to the households in posh neighborhoods that have little real wealth and are consumers with minimal savings and investments. This is a must read for the consumptive types.
