Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
PRAISE FOR STOP ACTING RICH . . . AND START LIVING LIKE A REAL MILLIONAIRE
“Stanley’s research does a great job of proving there’s a big difference between income and net worth. Many pretenders have become very good at generating income and enjoying a high standard of living. But take this Stanley gem to the bank: ‘Those who are among the least productive in transforming their incomes into wealth are in the higher-status occupations.’ Don’t be a great pretender, pretending you’re doing well when you only look the part. Read this book and find out how to emulate real-deal millionaires.” Michelle Singletary, The Washington Post
“Contains some surprising data that makes for a convincing argument supporting a simple lifestyle as a path to security.” Associated Press
“After reading through Stanley’s engaging anecdotes about how the other America actually lives, you may come to feel that perhaps you don’t need to impress the other guy so much. This in itself is no small thing. Your wallet will thank you. And you may end up happier.” Smartmoney.com
