This book was good because: it was a self-confirmation of the way we are living and it’s end result; and to know that we are not alone in our desire to become wealthy. It confirms that if you just want money to spend money, you’re never going to be wealthy.

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.

Thomas J. Stanley's book has much to offer in detailing the values and the financial discipline of not only successful businesswomen, but also the amazing discipline and tenacity of several self made multimillionaire men, and even a few women who did not work outside the home. Truly fascinating information, both in the form of statistics and of many fiscal life narratives. Full of practical, applicable habits and disciplines for every reader.

My favorite part? Women who took charge of the budget while staying home were the ones that led their families to financial peace. Her money management took their single income to greater heights.

Very interesting statistics and stories. A good go-get-'em read.

Good book

The book teaches us the mindset of rich people specially women . The book doesn’t teach you any technique per se of how getting rich , however , how act and think like a rich person

Pretty good book explaining women who are millionaires and you'll be suprised who they are and how they are different than male millionaires.

While this book had some good nuggets, it also had some major flaws.

I enjoyed the vignettes and the basic "can-do" attitude showed in much of the book. The author had lots of examples and lots of tips to help women become millionaires.

There was an amazing lack of diversity in his examples. Many of the women-while coming from "humble" beginnings, still came from a place of middle class privilege. There were so very few who crawled out of generations of poverty. And of course, only one woman of color in the entire treatise. African American woman were such a small amount of woman millionaires that they didn't even get a percentage...and absolutely nothing was said about it.

This still came from a middle class who was used to bootstrapping and having things happen. I vacillated between hope for the future and despair that people in general can still manage this kind of success as the gap widens between haves and have-nots. I'm not sure where to file this info in my head...

Good balance of analytical data and personal stories. Very motivating to see how so many women have created and managed success in various types of businesses. A bit dated now, with the data from 2004 or prior; would love to see an updated edition. Plenty of data for a deep dive for those who enjoy that type of information.

This book is absolutely amazing! It gave me a lot of in site on how to become a millionaire and it also let me know that anyone can become a millionaire!

This is the result of sociologists doing some hard research on the women who quietly live with a nice portfolio in your neighborhood. What things to these women do that are different from the usual, throw away society folks who thing dinner at home begins at KFC, for example? Take what you will and apply it to your life and attitude.

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!
