Philip Greer: I never read the original but I see how many reputable financial minds have recommended it. I figured I would just read this one and it is excellent. Must read for persons interested in becoming wealthy and not simply appearing wealthy.

Tate3441: The original Millionaire Next Door
remains at the top of my favorites and served as the primary motivation for the last decades of our financial growth. But this updated version falls far short—I was hoping for some new or profound epiphanies based on current data because some misinformed critics complained that the success of self-made millionaires in the first book was due to the dot-com growth. Those critiques were unfounded, and in one short chapter the new book validates with more data that the lessons of the first book still remain 100% in effect. I wish she had just issued an updated version of the original with the new data. This new one is just poorly written and tedious. If you have read the first book and live its tenets like I do, then this revision will BORE you. Just know that his daughter did all the research and updated the data, and all the findings of the original classic are still true today, then go back and read only the original, and don’t waste your time (or money) with The Millionaire Mind or this The Next Millionaire Next Door.

DaveB: Great book, so many myths and perceptions about how to build wealth. I was surprised that this is a part 2 to the Millionaire next door, I thought it was just an updated version. I recommend to read the first book first which does a better job explaining how to calculate your personal wealth assessment (i.e. how much should your net worth be at each stage in life).

Kindle Customer: Good book for me. I'm middle income family.
His message on Hyper-consumerism is very relevant for young Indians today who are in middle income category.

JPShopper: 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...

TJ: This book is still shot though with the be-thrifty-keep-it-hidden advice from the original, indispensable 'The Millionaire Next Door.'

But this extensively re-researched followup is more valuable as a snapshot of how our rich neighbors have changed emerging brick-by-brick in the Authors' comparison of survey data on millionaires comparing 1996 to 2016.

Our national apostle of thrift, Dave Ramsey, has bragged insufferably of late about the virtuous averageness of millionaires reflected in his new survey but this perspective here adds more depth.

The data here (although not necessarily the text) point to ways that rich has become the province of the self-entitled creative class, tracking many of the points that Richard Reeves makes in his indictment of the affluent middle class in 'Dream Hoarders.'

In the Drs. Stanley's telling, advanced degrees are now much more common in the affluent than 1996 but yet the rich are much much _less_ likely to claim that success requires "attending a top-rated college" or "having a great teacher/mentor."

Yeah, right.

This is the rank dishonesty that now pervades the creative class whose path in life has been...
