Book Review of The Millionaire Next Door

The Millionaire Next Door
Bookfanatic avatar reviewed on


An older book but with basic advice. Much of what they say can be distilled into...save as much as you can, live frugally and well below your means, have your own business if you can, don't live a high consumption lifestyle. I found the emphasis on being self-employed a bit off-putting. The data is a bit outdated frankly as far as ethnic groups go. I wonder how first generation immigrant Chinese or Korean or immigrant Indians do these days compared to other ethnic groups. I bet they save very well. They aren't really mentioned in this book.
