Review

The implication of The Millionaire Next Door...is that nearly anybody with a steady job can amass a tidy fortune. * Forbes * The kind of information that could lift the economic prospects of individuals more than any government policy...The Millionaire Next Door has a theme that I think rings very true..."Hey, I can do it. You can do it too!" -- Rush Limbaugh [A] Remarkable book. * The Washington Post * A nerve has been hit....[For] people who want to become wealthy. * USA Today * A primer for amassing wealth through frugality. * The Boston Globe * An interesting sociological work. * Business Week * A fascinating examination of the affluent in American society. * The Dispatch (Lexington, NC), (Nc) Dispatch * These, for the wise, are tips for all of us....A very readable book. * Cox News Service * Debunks the image of the rich as high-living spendthrifts. * U.S. News and World Report * I love the book, The Millionaire Next Door. It talks about how it is a myth that most millionaires in America have inherited their money. The fact is, we have created such a great country over 250 years. We have actually found the way for poor people to go from nothing to huge wealth and to create a life-changing opportunity for their children and grandchildren. We celebrate it, write movies about it, and our libraries are full of books about it. There is nothing wrong with that. -- Bernie Sanders The authors mine reams of data to show the surprisingly frugal traits millionaires have in common. "The main lesson provided is that high income does not equal wealth," said J.R. Rosskamp, managing director of Veritas Partners, Inc., a business consulting firm. Rosskamp calls "Millionaire Next Door" a "must read, and the earlier the better." * Chicago Tribune *

5.The Simple Path To Wealth :

About the Author

These days, I'm a book author and financial blogger on jlcollinsnh.com, but it wasn't always so. I started selling flyswatters door-to-door and picking up empty pop bottles from the side of the road for the 2-cent deposit. Gimme a break. I was eight. My first real job was scrubbing out big metal ice cream cans. I was 13. It paid $1.25 per hour. From there: Busboy, dishwasher, order-puller, grocery bagger, stock clerk, produce clerk and gas station pump jockey back in the day when someone pumped your gas, washed your windows and checked your oil (ask your grandparents). Mail clerk, tree-trimmer, landscaper, ad agency founder, account executive, ad space salesman, investment officer, entrepreneur, consultant, sales trainer, speaker, writer, radio talk show host and magazine publisher. Pretty much in that order although I've done some more than once. And I may have forgotten one or two. My work has taken me to most U.S. states as well as Canada, Germany and England. One of my few regrets is that I've never had an international posting. But I've had the good fortune to see a bit of the planet on my own: Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Wales, England, Greece, Crete, Puerto Rico, Tahiti, Venezuela, Curacao, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Paris, India, Kashmir, Goa, Nepal, Zanzibar, Tanzania, Eleuthera, St. Thomas, St. Martin, Barbados, Antigua, Martinique, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile, Prague, Guatemala, Galápagos. Pretty much in that order although I've visited some more than once. And I may have forgotten one or two. I've traveled by plane, train, bus, boat, subway, taxi, hired car, motorcycle, bicycle, rickshaw, hitch-hiking, foot, horse, donkey and elephant. Not only traveled by elephant, but herded rhinoceroses by elephant back in Nepal. My degree in English Lit is from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. They still send me alumni letters mostly, I think, hoping I've become rich and famous. I'm working on it. Here's my favorite cartoon: The visual is two guys in a corn field, up on racks dressed in shabby clothes. Straw coming out from their shirt cuffs and pant legs. They are serving as scarecrows. One is looking over at the other and saying... "English Major. How about you?" A pal of mine once said I had won the family lottery. He is right. My wife Jane and I have been married for 34 years. Our daughter Jessica graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Rhode Island. She currently serves in the Peace Corp.

6. The Bogleheads Guide To Investing :

Product description

From the Inside Flap

The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing is a handy resource that is written for anyone who may be grappling with a financial problem or simply wants to know how to invest money to get the best results. The Boglehead team of investment experts—Mel Lindauer, Taylor Larimore, and Michael LeBoeuf—provide the answers for gaining a foothold in the market and keeping it there.
Investing can be simple, but it’s certainly not simplistic. Over the course of nearly twenty years, the followers of John C. Bogle have evolved from a loose association of investors to a major force with the largest and most active non-commercial financial forum on the Internet. The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing is a hands-on resource for tapping into John C. Bogle’s “uncommon” investing wisdom.
Like the first edition, this thoroughly revised and updated second edition of The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing offers investors of all stripes, ages, and investing prowess a DIY handbook that champions the sage investment wisdom of John C. Bogle. Often witty and always wise, the book is filled with sage advice that helps investors take the first step on the road to investment success. And to keep investors on the right path, the authors illustrate how relying on "common sense" promoted by Wall Street is destined to leave you poorer.
The updated second edition includes the latest information on how to profit from backdoor Roth IRAs and Exchange Traded Funds. The book also contains timely updates on estate taxes and gifting, plus changes to the laws regarding traditional as well as 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans. In addition, the authors offer investment warnings and principles that are both precisely accurate and sometimes counterintuitive.
Assuming no extensive knowledge of finance on your part, the Boglehead authors march you step by step toward the winning investment strategy.

From the Back Cover

Praise for The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing, Second Edition
"I'm often asked to recommend a good, basic book on investing, and The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing has been my go-to pick since its original publication. It focuses on all the right things: the virtues of maintaining a frugal lifestyle, keeping investment costs down, and building a simple, low-maintenance portfolio. And importantly, it also tells investors what they can safely tune out—namely, day-to-day market action and the latest 'hot' investment products. Its advice will stand the test of time."
—CHRISTINE BENZ, Director of Personal Finance, Morningstar, Inc.
"John Bogle set out to reform the mutual fund industry nearly 40 years ago. He saw a high fee, self-serving, good ol' boy network and thought it was wrong. Bogle believed the purpose of an investment company was to be investor-focused. His idea turned into a revolution. The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is a testimony to the massive changes that have taken place as a result of Bogle's vision. The ideas in this book have saved countless investors billions of dollars in unnecessary fees. Hats off to Taylor, Mel, and Mike for a job well done."
—RICK FERRI, CFA, Founder, Portfolio Solutions LLC
"The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing describes a sophisticated and proven approach to successful investing. Nevertheless, its message of saving, investing in a diversified, balanced, low cost portfolio, and keeping it simple is easily grasped by investors of all levels of experience. Regardless of your investment acumen, this book provides many clearly expounded investment insights and is a great roadmap to financial success."
—GEORGE U. "GUS" SAUTER, Retired Chief Investment Officer, Vanguard
"The best one-stop shopping solution to saving, debt management, investing, insurance, and financial planning I have seen between two covers. For the price of a week's worth of lattes, you can secure your future."
—WILLIAM J. BERNSTEIN, cofounder, Efficient Frontier Advisors, LLC, author of The Intelligent Asset Allocator, The Four Pillars of Investing, and The Investor's Manifesto
