Summary:
How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people
whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors
Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing
members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple
rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last
rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book
to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions
are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often
flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There
are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board
manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent
vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes
sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively
discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you
drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is
smiling.
