I will give this one 2.5 stars.

I wasn't overly impressed with the book, simply because the information was so basic it almost seemed silly: first thing to do to become a millionaire is to own your own business, and the second thing to do is to save and invest like crazy.

However, I really think it made judgments on how people should spend their money. We all enjoy different things in life. While I would certainly never spend over $100 on a watch or shoes, and I have no interest in expensive cars (all things he discourages), I do enjoy fashion and having nice clothes, and I love to take trips (both of which are also discouraged). A lot of the information analyzed for the book was IRS 'death/estate information' and these people had huge amounts of money when they died...3-6 million even.

But I certainly hope that I do not die with that much money...I want to travel and see the world - hence spending my money. I will pay for many things for my children and ensure their education, but I do not need to guarantee them an inheritance. When they get old enough, I think they would like to come traveling with us.

We all get to spend our money where we would like to. Would I have a lot more if I didn't travel and enjoy clothes? Absolutely...but what importance is it to me to get rid of those things just so I die with millions...zero importance!

An excellent source of mentorship for 'up and coming' successful women. I've read this book many times in the last three years.

I'm not sure how to rate this because if you haven't read his other books, then it's good and useful information. However I have read these statistics and stories. While the insights aren't a surprise to me, it was a good review and a reminder of my own goals in my career and life.

I would have enjoyed an opportunity to streamline the text before it was published.

Overall smart advice on how to manage lifestyle and finances, but the majority of women featured in the book seem boring. We do only live once and every woman deserves expensive jewelry every once in a while, of course jewelry can be substituted with any other object of desire. However, the lesson here is get a strategy together for your finances and maintain discipline to stick to the plan.

I could barely put this book down from the time I first started reading it. I love it. This is the first time I've ever been tempted to contact an author and thank them for their book.

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.

Amazing, inspirational and very detailed book that every woman should read. With lots of systemized research and very convincing conclusions. A definite must-read for everyone, trying to handle their finances and build lasting wealth.

Not a lot of instruction or relatable stories. The only benefit I gleaned from this book is the section on Beta Women who rose above their challenges to make it.

A worthwhile read about a unique group of hardworking American women who have the drive, persistence, and self-efficacy to reach their financial and life goals. This book is research-based vs. a book like 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' which was based primarily upon one man's experience. Educational and inspiring.

this books is another prove that women are very giving people

The beginning and end are very strong, yet in the middle I felt there was "fluff." There were also a couple more stories about businessmen than I expected, yet I think I know why they were included as the route is one that women can also take. The book also requires having read Stanley's other works to really get what he is talking about. Regardless, it was a good read and worth my time.

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