I’ll reach out to his people and see what they say!I predict he won’t reveal details of his past in such interview. I was lucky in that I had a low salary when I was in the Air Force, and a then lifestyle inflated when I was still young and single. There is hope for us all!I get that one of the book's objectives is to change the mindset of the reader about the attainability of wealth, but the first part of the book is too much of a political / ideological screed. Until I reached $3M net worth, I never really felt ‘wealthy’. Love this. It was written in a very simple narrative, lacking the humor and personality of Dave Ramsey. I highlighted much of it and on the flight back wrote an outline of what I wanted to cover on ESI Money.Over the next week or so, I’ll be posting about the book.

!Now I feel I don't need to live in debt even though I am now more desirable to banks HA! Not sFor those that follow the Ramsey Solutions movement (listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio or have read Total Money Makeover), recent publications have mostly been rewordings of the titular message.

Just the discipline of being an employee and saving and investing consistently can get you across the line.

Just the way it was. It’s easier now to make a million dollars from a salary at a company than it was 20 years ago.

If you are sure you will be in one place for at least 7 years, you will usually be fine as this gives you time for volatile markets to smooth out. I did like the busting of millionaire myths and how focus was given on the importance of participating in company sponsored retirement plans. That allows for a pretty high standard of living esp. Why I bought it was I was looking for more information interpolated from the data. Hogan provides new and surprising statistics about "everyday millionaries" (people whose net worth is $1,000,000 or more), then gives straightforward strategies that the reader can use to build wealth. We would not consider ourselves wealthy or even comfortable trying to live on that. I would think that most people who come into significant wealth via an inheritance are unlikely to be people who read much in the way of personal finance blog given their life experience. This book especially felt like a pamphlet or small pocket book that was needlessly expanded into a full book.

.

But as other reviews have said, this was expected to be a true update of the Millionaire Next Door yet it was not.

As such, they certainly deserve it.Now let’s move on to the myth that “the wealthy take big risks with their money”.The book says this myth is supported by these beliefs:In the end, millionaires are neither risky investors nor looking to get rich quick. Overall, I wish he has delved into more interviews with the millionaires and even more data driven instead of anecdotal in how he discussed the myths. I had high hopes for this book...and annoyingly enough, it turns out this is quite easily THE WORST financial advice that can be given to ANYBODY pursuing a wealthy life.

I loved the quotes from other authors such as the one that wrote 'The strangest secret' that book definitely put the fire in my belly to continue this quest in being financially independent as well as this books average American millionaires stories. Hogan's practices require the reader to be financially responsible for decades by getting and staying out of debt, saving 15% of their income for retirement, making smart goals/investments, etc. Let’s dig into the book Everyday Millionaires by Chris Hogan.

It’s just been a comfort to see we were doing ok. We have our FFEF (fully funded emergency fund) in place, and 26,000 in savings for a down payment on a house (and climbing every month). If you have nothing, govt pays. annuity).I think its time for me to find a job with a nice pension.I hear ya 100%.

The tools/resources of today (index investments, 401ks, and things like the internet) let you learn and eventually participate in things that lead to wealth creation.Esi- I had a question for you and the community on a potential investment and I’m seeking advice from all of you .I’m around 30 and my parents are in their mid 60’s.My father and I are close and he’s nearing his retirement age where he wlll quit work. Different ambitions in this skull, obviously, but I recognized the severe danger I couldn’t fix regardless.

I agree that “coming from a stable, supportive, educated, economically advantaged family is going to increase one’s probability of economic success by orders of magnitude”.
