The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy by Thomas J. Stanley

3.0

I thought this book was pretty valuable for learning the basics of how the millionaire population in the U.S. lives (specifically in the 90s, the book is a bit dated). However, I found it lacking in any sort of intersectionality and a bit repetitive. You could pick and choose the most relevant chapters to you and still understand the theme of the book. In terms of intersectionality, there was a small analysis of gender and absolutely no mention of race and how that may affect building wealth.

I thought it was a missed opportunity and one that would have made the research more compelling. Hopefully this is something they dive into in their second book?
