This book is full of facts and figures. I was hoping for some more content of how to advice…..I am bored to death learning all the things that millionaires do. I bought the audio book and it was painful by disk 2……Good facts though if you need a research project or REALLY REALLY want to know.
Rating: 2 / 5
I am a huge fan of Thomas Stanley’s books. His books are on a specific set of people: self-made millionaries who are prodigious accumulators of wealth (PAW’s). This set of people is able to hold onto its money. Money sticks to their fingers instead of just passing through their hands. We are bombarded every day by deceptive advertising that encourages us to spend instead of save and invest. This advertising creates in us a mindset that causes us to value consumer goods over money and financial assets. PAW’s have a mind set that allows them to see through the Madison Avenue hype. Dr. Stanley in this book provides powerful evidence to refute many of these false advertising claims. In his books he is teaching how to think like a PAW self-made millionarie. Another reviewer got bored with the book. I think that says more about the reviewer than the book. Given today’s poor economy, there is nothing about money management that bores me. This book is an excting look into the mindset of the self-made millionaire.
