When you think of millionaires, do you think of people wearing diamonds and driving
expensive cars? Actually, the rich are far more likely to be wearing old jeans and driving an old
pickup truck. “They don’t try to look different from ordinary people”, say authors Thomas
Standley and William Danko in their book, The Millionaire Next Door : They surveyed America’s
millionaires and found that the main secret to wealth was modest spending. “Anyone can bewealthy if they make a plan, are frugal, and work hard,” says Stanley. Here is what else they
found.
Eighty percent of millionaires in America made their fortunes in one generation. They
didn’t inherit their money from their family. Most of them own a business. Two-thirds of them are
self-employed, often in blue-collar industries where you don’t need wear a suit. They are roofing
contractors, dry cleaners, and scrap-metal dealers. These people were not the A students in
high school ; they were the B and C students.
