The Millionaire Next Door (Millionaire Set) Kindle Edition
Most of the truly wealthy in the United States don’t live in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue. They live next door.
America’s wealthy seldom get that way through an inheritance or an advanced degree. They bargain-shop for used cars, raise children who don’t realize how rich their families are, and reject a lifestyle of flashy exhibitionism and competitive spending. In fact, the glamorous people many of us think of as “rich” are actually a tiny minority of America’s truly wealthy citizens—and behave quite differently than the majority.
At the time of its first publication, The Millionaire Next Door was a groundbreaking examination of America’s rich—exposing for the first time the seven common qualities that appear over and over among this exclusive demographic. This edition includes a new foreword by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley—updating the original content in the context of the financial crash and the twenty-first century.
“Their surprising results reveal fundamental qualities of this group that are diametrically opposed to today’s earn-and-consume culture.” —Library Journal

About the author
Dr. Thomas J. Stanley (1944-2015) was the author of seven award winning books concentrating on America's wealthy population and was the foremost authority on the affluent. His last book, The Next Millionaire Next Door, was published posthumously in October 2018 and co-authored by Dr. Sarah Stanley Fallaw.
He began studying the affluent in 1973. Dr. Stanley's first book, Marketing to the Affluent, was selected as a top ten outstanding business book in America by the editors of Best of Business Quarterly. Dr. Stanley wrote The Millionaire Next Door in 1996. Over 4,000,000 copies of this New York Times bestseller have been sold. In 2000, he published The Millionaire Mind, which explored America's financial elite and how they became so. The Millionaire Mind debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list. His other works included Selling to the Affluent, Networking with the Affluent, Millionaire Women Next Door, and Stop Acting Rich.
The author lived in Atlanta, held a doctorate of business administration from the University of Georgia in Athens and was formerly a professor of marketing at Georgia State University. Visit Dr. Stanley's website at www.thomasjstanley.com for more information on his life and work.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024A straightforward read. Insightful. PAW and UAW are terms I had never before heard of or considered. Glad I read this book. I hope to apply the concepts presented in this book. Simple ideas that seem hard to do for many.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2020I enjoyed this book as it gave me some insight to an are I am not familiar with. It has changed some of my personal viewpoints on what is important and reinforced what I’m already doing well. I recommend reading this book if you’re interested in growing wealth. This book will give you some direction to go if you don’t already have some. I took 1 star off because it’s a little bit boring.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024This book has illuminated my intuitive knowledge with data and narratives. It has also instructed my emotions in my relationship with money, enterprise and life.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020In general, I really admired all the insightful interviews and each individua'sl life-story on how to manage or lose all their wealth. The book itself is written in an easy language for anyone, even foreigners like me, to read! The only thing that I didn't like was that some topics were taking too long and were stretching out since it was based on study cases which needed to be explained. All in all, for patient readers very well suited, but for me a summary would have done it too! Super great information and examples!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022Definitely a little out dated but a lot of great information. The book definitely opened my eyes to the thought of not having to have a high salary in order to have high net wealth. Obtaining unrealized income vs realized income is in my future so that I may spend more time with family and less time on the job.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020Excellent book. The book is a little older some some of the data is not relevant but it the concepts still make alot of sense.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023This book is required reading for life planning. You might not be on the path, nor wish to be on the path of becoming a Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth. But you need to know the difference so you can go your own way while knowing the trade offs.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021As a fan of numerous personal finance blogs, podcasts, and you tube channels, I didn’t think there would be anything in this book that i didn’t already know. I was wrong. Reading the detail research findings was fascinating, especially regarding the relationship of wealthy people with their children.
The book focuses quite a lot on the ratio of income taxes paid to total net worth, I thought this was a strange thing to focus on, and wasn’t really all that helpful of a metric.
Otherwise I thought the book was outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very important topic
It is an important book and much relevant at this age of spending. The important message: to get rich, it is important to be frugal.
- AnonReviewed in India on January 8, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on how to upgrade your thinking about money.
I bought the book part 1 & 2 to understand different way of thinking about money. Both the book has excellent steps, with statistics to better understand why certain groups of people are successful over others. In a consumerism economy its very easy to want things and this is one of the books to point out the difference. I came to know about this book when one of my managers gave me this book to read.
It's a good book to read if you want to make changes. These things are not taught to us in colleges or schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars I got more than what I expected
I am blown away on how the millionaires taught their kids on how to manage their monies. Especially on how to pass their wealth after they pass away.
