The Next Millionaire Next Door
by Thomas J. Stanley and Sarah Stanley Fallaw
Stanley's daughter updates his research after his death: the frugal, self-made millionaire profile still holds, with new data on social media pressure, housing and the behaviors that predict wealth independent of income. It is more statistical than the original and quietly reassuring for disciplined savers.
Read it if…
you want the original's findings re-tested in the current economy.
Skip it if…
you have not read The Millionaire Next Door; start there.
Three things you will actually use
- Frugality still predicts wealth better than income.
- Ignore the neighbors; social comparison is expensive.
- Discipline and confidence in your own plan matter most.
Do this first
Compute your expected net worth (age times income divided by ten) and compare to actual.
Our verdict
