Inoltre si soffermano troppo a lungo su aspetti marginali (l'approccio dei milionari all'acquisto dell'auto) o anche eticamente "debatable" (il rapporto dei milionari con i figli, es.). Gli autori hanno un approccio al tema che definirei moralistico, e il loro tono diventa, a tratti, addirittura acido, quasi gli spendaccioni americani con l'ipoteca sulla casa e 4 macchine in garage gli abbiano provocato un travaso di bile.
Gli autori hanno fatto un buon lavoro con l'analisi dei micro-dati e con altre tecniche qualitative (Focus Group), ma non si può dire che sia un buon lavoro secondo gli standard della ricerca sociale. They discuss general paths to building wealth on your own, focusing specifically on careers and lifestyles associated with each path, and what it takes to be successful in each.Questo è uno di quei libri-cult, che, non foss'altro che per curiosità, bisogna leggere. They include results from quantitative studies of wealth as well as case studies of individuals who have been successful in building wealth. In this book the authors highlight how specific decisions, behaviors, and characteristics align with the discipline of wealth building, covering areas such as consumption, budgeting, careers, investing, and financial management in general.
Therefore, the authors decided to take another look at millionaires in the United States to examine what changes could be seen 20 years after the original publication of The Millionaire Next Door. In many cases, these outlets are simply experiences shared without science, case studies without data based on broader populations. A new generation of household financial managers are hearing from so-called experts in personal financial management due to the proliferation of the cottage industry of financial blogs, podcasts, and the like. Government officials, journalists, and many Americans still tend to confuse income with wealth. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about wealth in America still abound. Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way.
