The Millionaire Next Door Book Review -- Grade: A

I read The Millionaire Next Door about a week ago, and I loved it.  I expected some great secret to success, but I was relieved to see that the biggest difference between those who have wealth and those who don't is less a matter of a large paycheck and more a matter or saving and investing what one has.  The author talks about the difficulty those who do make a big paycheck may have because of expectations on them to spend.  That's why a doctor may make a lot but may not have a lot of wealth.  After reading this book, we upped our retirement savings by a third and decided it was time to start looking into other ways to invest.  The more I read about finances, the more I am willing to make sacrificies.  That is one thing the author says many people in our country need to learn how to do.  A lot of people make money now, but not a lot of them sacrifice now for wealth and security in the future.  This book is an easy read.  Give it a shot!
