Picture a millionaire. Got a visual in your head? What are they wearing? Driving? What type of house do they live in? If you are like most people, pop culture and corporations looking to sell you a lot of expensive stuff have created the image of millionaires to be one of excess and luxury. Their car? Must be a range rover. House? Must be in the Hampton’s. The Millionaire Next Door throws this image out the window.
Who exactly are these millionaires, and why do some with high incomes struggle to keep any savings at all, while some with modest incomes amass a fortune. The Millionaire Next Door breaks this down at a psychological level and isolates key characteristics and mindsets that turn ordinary people into money magnets.
This book is written by two PhDs, so if you like data you are in for a treat! This book is empirical, evidence based, and a must read.
Key Learning: 1. The vast majority of millionaires are NOT what you think they are. 2. How to take stock of and evaluate your personal finance habits with data driven support to back recommendations. 3. Teach you how to become financially independent.
3. Mindset
All else equal, more success at work (be that for someone else or in your own endeavors) will lead to greater levels of income which in turn leads to financial freedom faster. Mindset breaks down the barriers that might be holding YOU back from achieving your full potential.

Many of us slip into a fixed mindset, and in doing so slip into a box that limits out potential. Learn how to escape this cycle and unlock the power of a growth mindset.
