The Millionaire Next Door

[austin316]

Has anyone read this book? and if so, is it any good? Further, are the reprints the same material, with just new covers, or does it contain new material? (basically, which one should I buy?) thanks

I listened to the book-on-tape version (condensed). Wasn't that impressed.

Basically live a very modest life, buy only the bare essentials, invest the rest, have a lot of money for retirement but not a lot of stuff to look back fondly on.

basically.

Altho, the one thing in common with all these books I've noticed (i went on a crazy reading spree of these... very unlike me. heh), is they really push "buy american cars." I dunno, I think I'd stick w/ a good ol' camry reliablity if I were living below my means.

They push American cars for the reason that they are very cheap when you buy them used. They hold so little of their resale value that you can get a pretty good car w/ low miles for less than a high mileage import.
