The Millionaire Next Door


Right now , I am reading a book titled "The Millionaire Next Door." It is a book that intersts me very much because the whole premise of the book is to teach the ways of being frugal and the surprising facts of millionaires and how to become one. Most people would think that people's wealth is based off of material possesions and only what they can see. But the truth is that most millionaires are people that are unlikely seen because they seem to live a normal, unglamorous life. The truth is that they invest their money into stocks, bonds, and others to propel themselves into success and the public does not see that because why? They judge people's wealth on cars, homes, clothes, and other possessions which essentially mean nothing if you do not have the money to back it up. I recomment this book to anyone who is aspiring to success or just wants to learn how to better finance and be smarter with their money.

I think that that book seems really interesting! Everyone wants to be rich and everyone wants others to think they are rich. So to do this people buy expensive cars, houses, and clothes to impress other. But little do we know, the people with the not so expensive things could be the real millionaires.

I think this book sounds really interesting! It is amazing to me to find out who is really the rich people and who is actually just putting on a show.
