Critic reviews

Forbes The implication of The Millionaire Next Door...is that nearly anybody with a steady job can amass a tidy fortune.

narrator could be better just a monotone voice

voice recorder could have been better. full of stats and I would disagree with some premise

Great book! Funny and witty ! I will enjoy again!

This was an informative book. Fun, refreshing and breaks down class stereotyping! Loved it !

enlightening

enlightening. this opened up my mind. I've shared it twice already. I'm smarter as a result.

Don’t miss this!

This was exactly the book and information I was looking for. I devoured this book on a long haul flight right after I purchased it and couldn’t stop listening because it was so engrossing (normally I fall asleep on flights with a podcast or book). It thoroughly addressed all my thoughts, concerns and hunches around taboo topics like how I learned to handle money (especially compared to my husband), the role of money or affluence in my family, and tangible ways to change one’s perspective and behavior.

It’s specific, clear, fascinating and relevant to anyone who cares about their personal finances, relationship with money and the family history or environment that tends to set them up for either accumulating wealth or spending everything they have...

I am planning to share this with my siblings, friends and other family members because I think this perspective is life changing.

Definitely a book everyone should read.

I believe this book should be passed around for everyone to read, we need more books like this!!!

Gets you in the right mindset

This book provides helpful insight into why some people become wealthy and some people don't. Provides sometimes brutally honest truths about what it's like to actually become wealthy and how that does not play into the stereotypes most people automatically associate with it. Provides lots of examples of people who are doing things well and others who aren't.

How would this book be re-written in 2020

I would like for a follow-on to this book in 2020!! The boom on Silicon Valley and has the new generation changed the way we look at Millionaires!!!

Great book!

Very simple and helpful book on how to avoid the bad habits we have on spending money. A recommendation!!

Great book

Tough to listen to some of the stats and figures without actually seeing them written down. For instance some sections are just loads of stats which is just hard to take in the significance of what’s being conveyed.

must read book. Gamechanger

This book is a must read for person that's cares about financial future. Many others basen on this one.
