[...] I was fairly impressed with “The Millionaire Next Door.” It made me really think about things and be reflective on my life and who I am. I like that. That means that I am “growing.” [...]

Well I don’t know what the details are, but according to what I see on the blog you’ve paid down your credit cards about $2,000 per month, plus about $400/month in finance charges.

If you were able to save that much going forward, you would be a millionaire in about 20 years. Less if you used a tax-deferred account. Sounds like a long time, but it’s not forever. No problemo.

Kim – with being sick, all I could do is lay on the couch and TV doesn’t always interest me. So the book came in handy to pass some time

Lisa – thanks for liking the idea. I just hope someone wants it and participates. I agree that “Pay It Forward” was really sad. But the message from that movie really touches you. I would love to see this book go from home to home and hopefully affecting people in a good way, so we’ll see what happens.

Claire – I just read your reaction to the book. I understand how you feel with being discouraged, but I try to turn that discouragement around on itself. I ended up looking for the commonalities I find between myself and millionaires (according to the book). Now, can I become a millionaire with the income I am making now? Probably not in my lifetime. But if I have the mentality of becoming one, that is one step completed. The next step is to make more income and I’m already working on that with increasing my knowledge in my current profession and working on moving up within the company I work for. It will take me longer than most to become a millionaire, but I believe I will get there.

Thanks everyone for commenting!

I felt the same way about this book–that it was aimed at people who make more money than I do, or am ever likely to. I felt pretty discouraged for most of the time I was reading it, but I did manage to find some positive helpful stuff toward the end, mostly around how I will relate to my own son financially.

Here’s my reaction to the book, in case you’re curious:

What a totally neat idea! I love your idea of signing the book and sending it to someone who could use it. Then encourage them to carry on the tradition. Kind of like “Pay It Forward” (except that movie was too sad). It would be neat to monitor the travels of the book. Great idea!

I’m glad you were able to read it and get something out of it. I have recently gotten it out of the library and it’s slow going for me too. I just can’t seem to get in to it, but with so many people swearing by it, I am going to keep trying. That’s really nice of you to give away your copy!
