    Did you know there are millionaires living right next to you? In this book the author does not refer to celebrities and business man in the news. But every day people who thought savvy investments and money management has amazed a net worth of a million dollar or more. People you never hear about or people you do not realized are in fact wealthy. The Author looks at the everyday habits of these unknown millionaires and writes a picture of what it is that actually makes them what they are. Oh also people winning lottery are not included in this book.

    Some decent insights; worth a read on the beach as inspiration, I suppose.

    It’s an amazing book, but a bit outdated for 2024, we have so many self made young millionaires due to social media platforms and apps.

    Good information included, but some of the information/references are outdated. But I would still slightly recommend because the overall information is timeless.

    Very basic - spend less than you earn. What the book really comes down to is how people view wealth. Needs to be updated.

    Alright, but I wasn't a big fan of the writing style. It seemed to repeat the same points too much, and lose the reader's interest in a whirlwind of statistics. I'd consider "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez as an alternative to this book.

    Everyone whom hasn't read this book must do so for even a basic understanding of wealth accumulation. But I do emphasize the common criticism that this book does not address middle class wealth accumulation and how they go about their lifestyle in doing so. But still, I recommend this.

    The first time I went through this book 10 or so years ago, I saw it from a different perspective I didn't necessarily agree with as I was very focused on being a startup business owner.

    Having just re-read it again, I now see it from a much different perspective - especially as we're heading into an AI-dependent world.

    The folks that are mentioned in this book are wanting to offload these businesses now. And as it was mentioned, their kids aren't going to be picking them up if they can help it.

    However, if you take the advice from youtube educator Codie Sanchez and realize that many of these businesses are the owners' children as well, you'll see that helping these owners offload them would be very helpful to them.

    Nothing worse than building something your entire life up to earning millions and then not being able to pass it on.

    If you can put an AI spin on things (or whatever you're personal flavor is) - it's a perfect way to pass things over.
