Please don’t take this personal but I really dislike books like that because they equate success with money and set you up for failure. I used to read all those books and it really frustrated me because no matter how hard I tried the ‘formulas’ never worked. It’s very very frustrating when no matter how hard you try it doesn’t work. It was only once I sat down really looked at what my values were that I could serious think about what my goals are. They are very simple family and friends. The long and the short of is I wanted my Wife out of the corporate world. To do that we need to get our cost of living below X dollars (or euros per month) and she can quit. That is a goal that is achievable.
Even poor people given enough time and assuming they have some financial smarts can build a substantial nest egg. Sorry but not everyone can be a “Mr. Hedge Fund, who made his big time money when his Internet company went IPO” sorry thinking that way only sets yourself for failure.
Living below your means and/or increasing your income abit is the only guaranteed way to be successful long term. Unfortunately they don’t make movies out of people like that.
