Review The Millionaire Next Door
by THOMAS J. STANLEY and WILLIAM D. DANKO
Description
The majority of wealthy figures in the United States aren’t situated in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue. Commonly, you can find them in the most unlikely of places like just at the neighborhood’s cul-de-sac.
The transfer of wealth commonly practiced in the United States follows a shared pattern, either through inheriting a fortune or through the advantages that come with having a degree. What’s interesting about this is the behavior of these wealthy people. They refuse to practice grandeur and sophisticated lifestyle by owning second-hand cars, opting out from competitive spending, completely turning away from blinding exhibitionism. In reality, the glamorous group that we deem “rich” is just a tiny fragment of the United States’ truly wealthy entirety.
The Millionaire Next Door exposes the truth about America’s wealthy citizens, digging deeper into the commonalities that these people collectively share, recurring patterns that persist exclusively to this stratum. More so, these patterns were then put into analysis just so an individual, a commoner like you can follow and sit next to America’s wealthiest of the wealthy.
According to doctors Stanly and Danko, becoming wealthy is not a laborious task as one previously thought of. All they have to do is follow seven simple guidelines. This involves living way below means and knowing the most viable occupation to endeavor in. As for the last five, one needs to buy the actual book in order to know as it is only fair since the author’s insights and advice are substantial and rooted in elite people’s experiences. In this revealing book, the authors will straightforwardly show how wealth entails self-induced sacrifice, discipline, and other traits that are rejected by this capitalist structure.
