Customer Reviews

So many ahaa moments
Fantastic read with an abundance of ahaa moments. Loved the description of offence and defence. I feel inspired.

Worth the Money
I wasn't sure whether I should buy this book. After all, if I kept my money I'd Get-Rich-Quicker! However,after buying it I did feel it was enlightening and worth the money. It's a book about the spending habits of rich people based on real research and also about the perils of living a high-consumption life style. On a positive note I didn't feel that it was as repetitive as some of these books can be. It is definitely a life changing book.

An intriguing insight into the reality of creating wealth
This book exposes the truth behind the great wealth generators of America. Its message however has universal application. Contrary to expectation, real accumulators of wealth don't do any of the things that popular perception would have us believe. They don't have expensive tastes, live in plush houses, drive executive cars or wear the trappings of success. Instead, they budget very carefully and live well within their means, setting aside a sizeable proportion of their income for investment. This book explodes the myth of high earners necessarily becoming rich and supports its assertions with a wealth of detailed statistics. Most millionaires are apparently frugal, well-disciplined in handling their finances and frankly, downright dull! Not the sort of people that warrant a second glance.
Easy to read and enlightening, it may not be too late to change your behaviour and to embark on becoming a Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth (PAW)
