Got this book from my dad at Christmas, he got it from an estate sale for a couple bucks. Well Jan 8 Bella was probably mad she couldn‘t read it so she tore it up good. I‘ve set it aside for months and just now finished reading it. I recommend this book to young adults starting out their life. It‘s informative and resourceful financially, and they‘ll finish ahead on the wealthier side.

Might get that feeling? That the rich exploit their employees?
😬😬😬
I wish more companies were like Dr. Bronner‘s. They implement a salary cap. The highest paid employee‘s salary is limited to 5x that of the lowest paid employee. Imagine if all companies adopted this model. What a difference that would make in everyone‘s quality of life.

Authors list several characteristics of millionaires. I laughed when I read this one. The good old days of pension plans. Even when I was teaching and money was deducted from my paycheck for state pension, I never relied on them managing that money well.
so-soMeh. Most recent research was from mid-90s to early 2000s, so examples are outdated. In 2025 the authors & the millionaires come across to this Gen Xer as out-of-touch Boomers. Basic concept is live below your means. Stealth wealth. Lots of pages on car buying habits and how to raise kids to become wealthy w/o relying on cash infusions from parents. Nothing really new here. Some of the anecdotes were amusing. #ReadYourEbooks
Current read reflecting on the financial aspects of a life well lived. I'm glad it acknowledged very early on that globally a privileged few actually have disposable income with which they could take on board his viewpoint.
Already this is starting to feel like a lot of padding to get his central idea to book length though.....i think this will be a skim read.
pickI received this book as a gag gift ages ago, but I actually didn‘t hate it. Some of it definitely didn‘t age well (her successful partnership with K-Mart, her praise of Diddy and Jared from Subway, and her friendship with a certain someone whose name I refuse to speak or type). And I had to wonder what her staff REALLY thought of her opinion of herself as a leader. But I absolutely would recommend this to someone looking to start a small business.
panI zoned out a bit while listening to the audiobook so my review is not to be trusted!
