How to Become a Millionaire: A Straightforward Approach to Accumulating Personal Wealth

Many, many solid financial tips in this well-written,and,sadly ignored book. The author had his own web site for a few years that had great tips not found in the book such as:* gated communities will only keep out the new or amateur burglar* many wealthy individuals will keep expensive jewelry in a safety deposit box rather than at homeGreat book, just remember not to count on the stock market having ten percent average annual gains as Alch mentions here.An ideal companion for this is the book "Die Broke." Both will have one thinking outside the "box" in regards to their financial future.

This book contains rock solid fundamentals on becoming a millionaire- even with an average income. In fact, if you apply the authors advice in four areas (401(K), house, automobile & IRA) it's very possible to become a multimillionaire- depending on your time horizon. Compare the caliber of this book to Schwab's Guide to Financial Independence, Stanley & Danko's Millionaire Next Door and O'Shaughnessey's How to Retire Rich.

This is one of the easiest books to read and understand. It makes sense and after reading this book I have already begun to do some of the things that Alch suggests.
