  • Summary

  • Chapter 1:What's the Millionaire Next Door

     

    The "Millionaire Next Door"  challenges common misconceptions about millionaires, revealing that many of them do not live extravagant lives but instead have built their wealth through frugality, hard work, and smart financial decisions.

     

    In the "Millionaire Next Door," the authors introduce the concept of "prodigious accumulators of wealth" (PAWs) and "under-accumulators of wealth" (UAWs). PAWs are individuals who have accumulated significant wealth relative to their income, whereas UAWs have a low net worth considering their earnings. The book emphasizes that high-income alone does not guarantee wealth; instead, it stresses the importance of living below one's means, saving consistently, and investing wisely.
