Douglas Andrew’s book reads like a rejected first draft of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and right off the bat, it’s kitschy premise (ripped right from the above book) falls more than a little flat. In order to illustrate his points, the author relies on his sons and their imaginary friends – and the discussions [...]

Douglas Andrew’s book targets the baby boomer generation and tries to convince them that it is not too late to become a millionaire and avoid living on soup kitchen handouts to survive retirement. That’s a pretty tall order and a lot of authors have failed at this exact same premise. While Andrew’s book is well [...]

Thomas J. Stanley’s follow-up to his well-received book The Millionaire Next Door, follows a pretty interesting premise. It basically picks the brains of millionaires to find out how they got their wealth and how they keep it. It certainly offers an interesting read and I do recommend it, but not as a book that is [...]
