The Millionaire Next Door

September 24, 2007

It’s more than a yr now since I read the last book… College can be so busy sometimes… nevertheless I started reading one today… It’s called “The Millionaire Next Door”.

millionaire next doorIt’s about the habits of millionaires…

  • What do they do?
  • where do they drive?
  • What do they drive?
  • how do they Invest? etc…

It highlights the concept of wealth being measured in terms of time rather than money….(deja vu?!) which says you are wealthy the number of days u will survive if u stop working today.

If I survive 1 yr if stopped working today, meeting all the expenses, I am 1 yr wealthy!! :)

more as I read…

College: last week was quite relaxed after the sessional…can’t say how long the relaxation would continue…with mid term project demo, quizzes, assignments and lab test due, days to come are not that fun!!

If You Want to be Rich and Happy….

Does that sound stupid?? or unconventional??!! Well the book gives a thought over the education system and how the system is not preparing young minds for the real life!!

Instead of preparing students for the realities of life, the education system has essentially sabotaged their natural ability to function in a world of change. Teaching students to conform and to search for the one right answer ultimately destroys their independence and their passion for learning and living. True learning does not end with graduation and a diploma…

The book might just change the way you look at the things.






College: My semester exams commencing from 26th (2 more days to go), and the strange feeling, about which I mentioned in one of my previous posts, continues…Lets hope for the best ;)
