Millionaire Next Door: Surprising Secrets of America’s Wealthy by Thomas J. Stanley (144)

The Millionaire Next Door (1996) is a groundbreaking study that dispels common myths about wealth in America. Stanley and Danko show that many millionaires aren’t flashy or celebrity-like—they’re everyday individuals who accumulate wealth through frugality, discipline, and smart investing. From budgeting to intentional career choices, the book explores the traits of “Prodigious Accumulators of Wealth (PAWs)” versus “Under Accumulators of Wealth (UAWs):” the truly wealthy quietly thrive by living below their means.
