The most important lesson I learned from this book is that to become a millionaire, it is more important to be intentional about how you spend your money than to make all the money in the world. Being frugal pays off!

Learn about the difference of wealthy women and their quiet journeys to success.

This book has the same issues as The Millionaire Next Door: although it contains interesting findings, all chapters are based on the same research data (surveys, statistical data from IRS, interviews). After a few chapters, you have seen it all before.
I like the focus on self-made women, mindset, entrepreneurship, and various alternative life paths that the author discusses; ranging from starting your own business, saving your normal income and investing wisely, running the family office instead of working a job to investing in real-estate to let.

Nothing that was really shocking, its just interesting to see the statistics behind it. It is basically what most of us would expect, but fascinating to see the proof/research.

too many stats and not enough personal details! I could have did a google search and crossed this information. I was disappointed.

I really wanted to like this book. "Millionaire Women Next Door": who could *not* be attracted to a book with a title like that? Unfortunately, this book did not meet my high expectations. It's a great book if you are the parent of a little girl, and want to know what to do to give her the best chance of one day becoming a self-made millionaire. It's a great book if you enjoy reading random statistics on groups of people. However, if you are already grown, if you are not the parent of a little girl, and if you are interested in stories rather than statistics, this book is not for you. It was not for me. In fact, this is the first book in a loooooooooooong time that I gave up on; I put the book back on my shelf with 1/3 the book remaining.

Some of the statistics are interesting, and the insights into the characteristics of parents of future self-made millionaires are interesting. If that was the type of information I was looking for, I would have found this book somewhat engaging.

Although a very analytical the book isnt very indepth regarding all ethnic backgrounds of millionaires

Interesting- but not as much insight as the original Millionaire Next Door. To echo my comments on the original book- this book is not about women who have inherited family money, it's about women who have earned it through their own efforts and hard work and managed it well. It's a very motivating book.

this books is another prove that women are very giving people

The first half or so, I found rather dull and full of statistics that seemed questionable as mentioned by previous reviewers. The latter part picked up though. I found it encouraging that income is not the only factor that leads to wealth. The book had a heavy emphasis on frugality, making wise choices, investing, and avoiding debt. There was even a chapter on educators, which I appreciated, since my husband and I both work in the education field.

The Millionaire Next Door copy has been lost from our library, so I picked up this book instead. I already knew the basic premise of the book - everyday people (women) living frugally and acquiring wealth - but still found it intriguing. One of the most important things I took away is that as a parent, I need to explain money to my children - especially to my duaghter. I need to teach them how to earn it, what to do with it and to be generous with it. And I also left feeling motivated to acquire some new financial skills.

I just received this for Christmas...it came highly recommended. I'll check back after a few chapters!
