The Millionaire Next Door Author: Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. William D. Danko, Ph.D. Most people have it all wrong about how you become wealthy. Wealth is more often the result of hard work, diligent savings, and living below your means. Many millionaires bargain shop for used cards, pay a tiny fraction of their wealth in income tax, raise children who are often unaware of their family's wealth until they are adults, and above all reject the big-spending lifestyles most of us associate with rich people. In fact, you will learn that the flashy millionaires glamorized by the media actually represent only a tiny minority of the rich. Most of the truly wealthy in America don't live in Beverly Hills or Park Avenue - they live next door. Stanley and Danko have been studying the wealthy in this country for 20 years. Using their two decades' worth of surveys, interviews and data available nowhere else, they have compiled a detailed picture of who the rich are and how they live that will change forever your perception of what being wealthy really means.
