Think I’ll add this to my list of books to read.
I love reading about what the rich do with their money.
I know some rich people, and the truly happy ones live modestly (but have lots of fun) and accept people for who they are – they are usually great judges of people, too.

I have an interview with Jim on Monday, so this was good for me to read- I already prepared my questions for him and I have one that is pretty similar to your last one! Maybe great minds think alike?

Interesting point about the importance of relational stability and its correlation to building wealth.

I always like hearing the advice from the “wealthy.” It really is interesting to hear low/middle class wanting and needing big ticket items, yet the upper who can afford them don’t indulge as much. The other comment about divorce leading to poverty is very true.

Nice job with the interview Jim. I like the last question a lot.

I wasn’t so sure about this book until now. I’m putting it on my goodreads list of to-reads. Do you think odonnell can out do himself and make one in less than 50 pages? I think that would be the holy grail.
