The Millionaire Next Door
"Why aren't I as wealthy as I should be?" The most hardworking people frequently ask this question. The Millionaire Next Door reveals how the majority have it all wrong on how to become wealthy in America. Affluence is more often the product of hard work, tireless savings, and spending below your means than it is about old money or advance degrees. This bestselling hit identifies the traits that those who have accumulated fortune have in common. Ultimately, you will realize that the flashy millionaires glorified in the media represent only the minority of America's rich. Most of the super-rich in this country don't live in Beverly Hills; they live next door.

"I love the book, The Millionaire Next Door. It talks about how it is a myth that most millionaires in America have inherited their money. The fact is, we have created such a great country over 250 years. We have actually found the way for poor people to go from nothing to huge wealth and to create a life-changing opportunity for their children and grandchildren. We celebrate it, write movies about it, and our libraries are full of books about it. There is nothing wrong with that."
