Critic reviews

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

Good advice, but needs to be updated

The authors need to update this book. I keep trying to adjust numbers used, like most amount ever spent on a car, as of 1995 and adjust for inflation to 2005. A $30,000 car in 1995 is not a $30,000 car in 2005. But, what is it? Is it $40,000, $35,000, or $50,000?

Other than that, a lot of good, common sence advice that is good to be reminded of. Also, it was fun to try to figure out which of my upper middle class neighbors are on EOC based on their lifestyles.

Great information!

There's a lot of great insight into how many millionaires make and keep their money. It was a really long book and hard to finish but it's definitely worth it

A must read

although the writing can be dry at times, and it may need a few reads over to catch all the information in this book, I could not believe how much this information opened my eyes. it accurately predicted everything that happened to parts of my family once my grandmother died. not only did it explain the situation to a T, it explained the whys and more in depth analysis of how a situation could happen. no matter who you are, you fall into the financial mindset categories that are detailed in this book. After better listening to this audiobook, i have a far better understanding of my strenghts and more importantly my weaknesses are when it comes to finances, saving and investing. i already started recommending this book to people and discussing the topics long before I even finished the book. i highly reccomend this to everyone who cares to improve themselves. dont worry if you dont catch every sentance, the parts that stick will hit you like a ton of bricks.

Completely Wonderful a Must Read

This book showed me where I went wrong on life financially. It also gave me ways to make my situation better. Most of all it showed me ways I can get my children on the right path to become financially affluent. Completely loved this book. I will read and listen to it again.

Pretty good

It was really insightful in the beginning. Started off strong with a lot of facts and statistics. Then, by the middle and towards the end it started to drag on about some tangential points that didn’t have a strong correlation to generating and maintaining millionaire wealth. It was more of a cautionary tale about what to avoid. Kind of a mediocre second half. But the first half was so good that I give it 4 stars.
