I love the book, The Millionaire Next Door. It talks about how it
is a myth that most millionaires in America have inherited their
money. The fact is, we have created such a great country over 250
years. We have actually found the way for poor people to go from
nothing to huge wealth and to create a life-changing opportunity
for their children and grandchildren. We celebrate it, write movies
about it, and our libraries are full of books about it. There is
nothing wrong with that. -- Bernie Sanders
The authors mine reams of data to show the surprisingly frugal
traits millionaires have in common. "The main lesson provided is
that high income does not equal wealth," said J.R. Rosskamp,
managing director of Veritas Partners, Inc., a business consulting
firm. Rosskamp calls "Millionaire Next Door" a "must read, and the
earlier the better." * Chicago Tribune *
