Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about wealth in American still abound. Government officials, journalists, and many American still tend to confuse income with wealth. A new generation of household financial managers are hearing from so-called experts in personal financial management due to the proliferation of the cottage industry of financial blogs, podcasts, and the like. In many cases, these outlets are simply experiences shared without science, case studies without data based on broader populations. Therefore, the authors decided to take another look at millionaires in the United States to examine what changes could be seen 20 years after the original publication of The Millionaire Next Door. In this book the authors highlight how specific decisions, behaviors, and characteristics align with the discipline of wealth building, covering areas such as consumption, budgeting, careers, investing, and financial management in general. They include results from quantitative studies of wealth as well as case studies of individuals who have been successful in building wealth. They discuss general paths to building wealth on your own, focusing specifically on careers and lifestyles associated with each path, and what it takes to be successful in each.

Disappointing Follow Up to Millionaire Next Door

10 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I read and loved the original Millionaire Next Door with its ground breaking (well, at least to me) findings that ordinary Americans can achieve riches using the American way of hard work and a frugal life style (and a bit of luck too!). Finding, for example, that people who drive flashy cars may well be living paycheck to paycheck and from lease payment to lease payment, made me view conspicuous consumption in a new light. It seemed to me that Dr. Stanley was intrigued by his research into wealthy people and by the paradox he found that wealthy people often didn't give the impression that they were wealthy, frequently being particularly frugal, while people who did give the impression of being wealthy (flashy cars etc) often had very little wealth, frequently having negative net worth due to debt.
In the original book, a clear path ahead was laid out to becoming wealthy by spending less that you earn and investing savings in appreciating assets. These findings have been echoed by many others since the original book was published. If you haven't read the original Millionaire Next Door, then I would suggest that you do so, even though some of the data are out of date. I did follow the advice in the original book (and advice in other books) and I am now a multi-millionaire so I can vouch for the validity of the ideas in the original Millionaire Next Door.
Dr. Stanley was tragically killed in an auto accident and his daughter has now undertaken to carry on her fathers work and has published this book.
Sadly this book does little to advance the themes of the original Millionaire Next Door. There have been a number of potentially significant changes since the original book was published including the increasing concentration of wealth into the top few percent, the stagnant or decreasing wages of those without a college degree, and the increasing college debt of younger people. How has all this affected how ordinary working Americans can achieve wealth? Few new ideas are presented. Consequently I am unable to recommend spending the money on it. Perhaps if we follow the advice of the original Millionaire Next Door of being frugal, frugal, frugal then maybe borrow it from you local library and put the money saved in appreciating assets.

It’s a proven method that works!

16 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

If you read the first book (The Millionaire Next Door), this new one provides a valuable update with new research to help understand a few things that have changed over the past 20 years as well as what has stayed the same. This book will “FIRE” you up (pun intended) and will continue to reinforce the LBYM (live below your means) mantra. To that end, you won’t find the Millionaires in this updated sample driving Jaguars, Range Rovers and Porches! However, there were new interesting tidbits as it relates to investing with this Millionaire sample. They are human and make mistakes which makes for interesting discussion points of “how does this set of people have the drive, determination, control…etc. to go against the grain and accumulate a millionaire net worth, yet still fall into some of the traps (market timing for instance) that a lot of other people fall into?”

If you’ve never read the first book and are unfamiliar with Dr. Stanley’s work, this book will become one of the more important books you will read. Do you want to become financially secure? Well, who better to learn from than the folks that have actually done it. You will learn that a few small decisions can make a profound impact in wealth building over time and it does take time…building financial independence for those of us that didn’t win the lottery or receive a large inheritance takes discipline and occurs in what feels like slow motion, but it is a proven method that works again and again.

A bit jumbled, the author's voice is lost in trying to pay homage to her father

10 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I would consider the original Millionaire Next Door written by the late Dr. Stanely to be one of the few books that has changed my life by influencing my major decisions. Over the years, I have read it again and again. I had high hopes for this brand new updated version but was disappointed.

I think the biggest problem with this book that it is too jumbled and written in two voices. On the one hand we have Dr. Stanley's daughter writing large chunks of it, and on the other hand, we have far too many directly taken pieces from the Dr.'s blog. Making things worse, the daughter is always trying to give credit to the father, so throughout she writes in the plural "we did....", "we think...", etc. I wish she had just written the whole book herself in her own voice and omitted all the blog posts. It seemed to me that she had a lot of raw data such as letters from people over the years, and numerous surrveys, but she was not able to put all the information together in a way to glean insights. As a result, I got far less from this book than I could have, it does not have a clear framework or set of takeaways, at least not different or thought-provoking enough compared to the original.

The original Millionaire Next Door is hard to beat

29 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The original Millionaire Next Door is hard to beat - it was a unique source of data that provided insights into the characteristics of millionaires. While the New Millionaire Next Door provided data from a recent survey of ~1,000 respondents, it was buried in a very wordy treatise that struck me as an advertisement for another book in the series.

second hand retelling of the first book without updates

2 November 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Weak version of original. I expected updated info, this was a regurgitation of information and felt like I was listening to someone tell me about the last book.
