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% .

Great mindset read

My only critique is that the statistics are out of date but the message as a whole is very informative as to who because wealthy versus who you think becomes wealthy

First book for those who want to get rich

If you are smart and hard working and wonder why you aren't rich, this book will give you the answer. It is the most elucidating book on the rich in America and how they got that way. It also makes it clear just how wrong most people are by associating "rich" with what they see on TV. This book should be a primer for anyone looking to succeed financially in their life. I never would have thought that hearing facts, figures and dry interview questions would hold me in rapt attention.

Everyone should read this book

You want to be rich? Read this book. This book is a compilation of stats on wealthy spending habits. You will call bs on so many people going forward who display outwards wealth including execs and doctors. Most people act rich but have little net worth. Best book I read on audible. Going forward I will be cheap and proud thanks to this book! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Unlock your Potential? Maybe..

Great narrating and storylines. Good commonsense book that may help folks unlock the potential, positive, long-lasting effects of asset accumulation. Lots of lessons can be learned by reading this book. There were lots of points that I was already aware of, but the narrator really brought them home.
I liked it. Thanks!

A family Must-read

This is a great book for entrepreneurs of all types. A must read for all who seek to be "wealthy". should be a must read for all American High School students and a good family read to teach 'wealth education'.
