In my favorite Disney movie Aladdin, Aladdin wishes to be a prince. My advice, ladies don’t marry a scrub and men don’t marry a gold digger.ģ.“Economic success is dependent upon effectively managing resources.” In the book, many millionaires stated that their spouses were huge influences on their wealth building. If you are spending time with people who are responsible with money it’ll rub off on you. You will likely absorb their bad habits and bad vibes. Do you frequently have conversations with friends who look at you crazy when you tell them something isn’t in your budget? Maybe reduce your time with these people. Are you around people who always claim they are broke? That’s a disease I don’t want to catch. But, I believe that it is important to think carefully about the company you keep when it comes to money. Now I obviously don’t want my sister avoiding me. That choice was only made because I was present. I encouraged my sister to make a poor financial choice. Of course the story ends with the both of us exiting the store with charms in hand. She was somewhat uneasy about the purchase. I didn’t want to shop alone so I encouraged her to buy a leather blue shark. Fairly quickly, I found the cutest bag charm. Who you spend time with affects your ability to build wealth.ĭuring one of our many shopping trips, my sister and I decided to venture to Coach to see if they had anything interesting.

To truly build wealth we have to silence that small voice that tells us that happiness will come once we get our Telfar bag in the mail. If we are constantly comparing we can’t be happy with what we have. But, all that showing off is costly financially, and costly in the happiness department. When we see people buying, traveling, and doing things that we want, we want to show off ourselves. When we see the lives of loose ties we don’t have the same discernment. We see the beautiful family photos on Facebook, but we also know that those smiling children are heathens that no one wants to be around. When we see the reels of those we know well we have the ability to separate social media from reality. In the age of Instagram and Facebook we are bombarded with the highlight reels of those we know well and those we don’t. The person who struggles with comparisons is the person less likely to become wealthy.

I believe that the tag team approach made this book great. Sarah did a lot of interesting work on conducting new research on the wealthy. It was great to get his perspective and to see follow ups with those he interviewed in the past. I was floored by Sarah’s strength to finish the project and was happy that she had some of her father’s material to work with. Sarah shared that she finished the book without her father but included notes and posts written on his website. During the process of researching and writing the book Dr. Sadly, the beginning of the book starts with his daughter Sarah informing the reader that she finished the book without him. Stanley had a follow up to The Millionaire Next Door, I was curious about whether or not it would have the same impact. He demystified the lifestyles of the truly wealthy. He was able to demonstrate the power of initiative in wealth building. Stanley made me feel proud of what my grandma taught me. When I first read The Millionaire Next Door, Dr. For better or for worse you can catch me doing things that need to be done. I believe this lesson was the beginning of my conscientious lifestyle. She told me that it meant doing what needed to be done without having to be told. My grandma taught me the word “initiative” when I was very young. Conscientious is the way I prefer to say it.
