Amazon.com Review:
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.

- Great Intro to Wealth Building
This is one of the best books on wealth bulding I have even read and I've read hundreds of them.

It does a superb job of profiling key characteristic and behaviors that American typically fall into putting themselves deep into debt and then gives simple and easy to connect with ways to counter these behaviors to put yourself on the right track to financial independence.

Really, really great! Do yourself and your family a favor and read it.

Rating:

- A Must Read
This was a surprising book, because it goes against popular myth as to who are the wealthy and why.

If politicians and business leaders had read this book, we may not have gotten ourselves into the current financial mess!

Rating:

- Good Read
Quite the eye-opener about how many supposedly rich people are actually being supported by their parents. I did think it had a lot of undertones about how being cheap, I mean frugal, was noble in its own right and there's nothing worth spending money on except charity and education. But it was motivational, inspirational and educational.

Rating:

- this book exceeded my expectations

This is the best book I have read in months.

I think the authors could have made just as strong a case with half the number of pages, but I would still give this book `6-stars' if I could.

Why?

1 - It's an easy and inspiring read.
2 - It's free of unnecessarily poetic language.
3 - It's free of unfounded claims. The authors `opinion' is not the essence of the book.
2 - The evidences are strong and speak for themselves.
4 - It tells you something you couldn't just guess.
5 - It has a lasting impact on your thinking.

I must add one thing. When people say they want to be rich, what I believe they mean is: how can I make lots of money. That's not the question this book focuses on.

- Self-help book for sale
If you are a cardiologist pulling in more than $300,000 a year, waste all your money on country clubs and Range Rovers and can't figure out why you haven't banked a million bucks yet, this is the book for you. Well, it would be if you had the humility to follow advice. However, if you are trying to raise three kids on a government mid-manager's $40,000 a year and would like to improve your plight, this author has little use for you. I would be $10 closer to being a millionaire if I hadn't bought this book. Hey - at least I did buy it used.
