Can you spot the millionaire next door? Who are the rich in this country? What do they do? Where do they shop? What do they drive? How do they invest? Where did their ancestors come from? How did they get rich? Can I ever become one of them? Get all the answers in The Millionaire Next Door, the never-before-told-story about wealth in America.
While not a Christian Book, this has great strategy for preparing for second-half ministry. We would do well to learn from those that have gone before us to learn how life's passions can be funded with wise and painless strategy.
We often think the guy with the elegant home, fancy car, gold watch, and expensive suit is a millionaire. Wrong! He spent all his money. It is the person with his original home, older car, never spent more than $250 for a suit or $40 for a watch that is the millionaire next door. This is very interesting reading.
