Summary

Bill Gates. Michael Jordan. Warren Buffett. Every day we hear about the rich getting richer; we buy their products, watch them on television, and wish we could afford their stock. And yet we've never learned how to replicate their success'until now.<P>Picking up where the smash bestseller The Millionaire Next Door left off, Getting Rich in America reveals eight simple, practical, commonsense rules anyone can follow to save a million dollars'without sacrificing quality of life. Based on years of research studying self-made millionaires - and a philosophy that has proven successful for the authors as well - internationally acclaimed economists Dwight R. Lee and Richard B. McKenzie unveil a profound truth in the quest to become wealthy: that getting rich is a choice - and that choosing to be rich, especially in America, has never been easier.<P>In this highly anticipated audiobook, you will meet ordinary folks, just like yourself, who, while making an average income, have amassed at least a million dollars in savings'not through get-rich-quick schemes, but through basic hard work, discipline, patience, and perseverance - without having to live like misers. <P>But why become rich if not to enjoy it? Getting Rich in America does not promote amassing wealth for wealth's sake. You can have that gourmet coffee, take a much-needed vacation, even indulge in filet mignon. With its emphasis on achieving balance, Getting Rich in America is filled with: exercises and easy-to-execute calculations that reveal how the &#147;little things&#148; really do add up over time to big savings, or to no savings at all; sound advice for creating a fulfilling life; and practical tips for saving and making your money work harder'so you don't have to.<P>Read by Eric Conger.
