Editorial Review: Amazon.com: How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling. Product Description: The incredible national bestseller that is changing people's lives -- and increasing their net worth! CAN YOU SPOT THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR? Who are the rich in this country? What do they do? Where do they shop? What do they drive? How do they invest? Where did their ancestors come from? How did they get rich? Can I ever become one of them? Get the answers in The Millionaire Next Door, the never-before-told story about wealth in America. You'll be surprised at what you find out.... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Realistic Approach for Accumulating WealthThe authors of this book give a more realistic approach on how to join the ranks of America's wealthy. Always live well below your means is one of the rules. There are others. The authors discover that most of the wealthy households were not located in upscale neighborhoods. These people also drove ordinary cars, work the right jobs and dont dine out as much. These people are in complete opposites to the households in posh neighborhoods that have little real wealth and are consumers with minimal ... Read More Rating:  - Underlying assumptionsThis is an interesting book with some insights to offer. Though these ideas are not earth-shattering or new, the presentation is novel, increasing the chance that some of the simple and clearly true advice offered may actually sink in. On the other hand, the authors have some underlying moral assumptions which they themselves may not realize are dubious, and which color their work, This is what I mean: First, as to their insights, the authors demonstrate how wealth is acquired and maintained ...

Rating:  - Rich message, poor deliveryDon't get me wrong, this book is founded on smart advice. Its main morals are the following: - Don't believe what you see in the media; most millionaires don't live extravagant, consumption-driven lifestyles. The pursuit of status is stratospherically expensive, and chances are that guy you see pulling out of the Super-Size McMansion in his Benz is a hardcore spender with above-average income but little accumulated wealth. - The rich get rich by spending prudently (no $5,000 watches or $50,000 ...
