Overall interesting details, but needs updating.

Overall great book, with interesting insights into how most millionaires live. Many of these I've seen play out in my interactions on the edges of this group. My only comment would be the need for a refresh taking into the affect of the great recession and how that may have affected the cohort. Would also help to re-baseline the dollar numbers to current values and calculations.

Millionaire mindset...

Even though this book was written some time ago, the research still stands true. People with real money have no desire to flaunt it. They don’t care for lavish material possessions. They keep their money because they are frugal. Live well under your means. Plan for your future. Save and invest. Anyone can be a millionaire with the right mindset about MONEY.

Should be required reading in high school!

No one teaches our youth how to make the most of the money they acquire in their lives. Instead, students are encouraged to spend, spend, spend - whereas the mantra hammered into their heads should be SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. I guess it’s understandable, since we live in a consumer-oriented society. This book is one of the best I have ever come across to help change my mindset to set sail in the direction of a retirement characterized by healthy net worth and not poverty.

Very insightful, easy to listen

I really appreciated the wide range of topics presented in this work. Includes excellent tips on raising confident, courageous, financially wise children as well as excellent career choices.

Organization of details, interesting stories and statistics paired with an easy to listen to narrator, greatly contributed to my enjoyment.

Great Advice, Great Reminder

More people should listen to or read this book. It's so on point. It sums up very well why so few people who come from nothing become wealthy and why so many will not join the 1% .
