Good info

I was new to this perspective, so I appreciated the information. It does get predictable in the second half and the content is dated. The performance is fine, but not great. I am glad I listened though because it changed my perspective on spending and wealth accumulation.

Useful

Good information and motivating. It's a bit repetitious and becomes boring at times because of that.

What a Book!

Very interesting book and so glad I purchased it. This gives you really good insight into how millionaires actually live and operate, treat their families and what accumulating wealth really means. Being frugal and making smart decisions. The data driven facts in this book are incredible, you'll be very surprised and possibly excited.

Narration of the book is great and very understandable. The authors voice and tone are also very good, some narrators have annoying voices or perhaps read the text differently than perhaps I am accustomed to reading or listening to. This one is great and I recommend for all. It's not a waste of money or a credit. Enjoy!!!

Great book. Will listen again one day. Keeper

Overall excellent and entertaining with lots of statistics if you like that sort of thing... which I do. Might seem dated to some but I found it thorough and timeless with lots of lessons on how to not create a generation of UAW offspring.
