If my story in your book helps some people to make changes to respect money, teach their children how to use credit, keep their electronics and toys in good condition to resell, and even learn to buy them used to save money – then my lessons, taught to me by my parents and passed on to my children – is fulfilling my need to inspire people through your book. It’s not where I want to be just yet, so there is more to do.īut seeing my story in The Next Millionaire Next Door gave me huge satisfaction! I know how many people are inspired by The original Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, Millionaire Women Next Door, and Stop Acting Rich. None of those individually accounted for the net worth, but combine them all and layer frugal living and basic investing on top and you have the story of how I achieved my level so far. Perhaps I could speak about my side work which includes a rug design studio, comedy writing and marketing copy-writing of all things. But what to speak on? Success in business? Tough subject since I was a middle manager (albeit with a 7-figure net worth that nobody would suspect). I started to look at doing speaking engagements. I was telling my wife I wanted to make a difference for others – inspire others in some manner. This may sound silly, but with all the success my sons earned, my relative net worth success, and my 32-year marriage on solid ground – I had been feeling a lack of fulfillment. Paid graduate research assistant positions. They both earned free Masters Degrees and received I’m at that stage in life where my kids are all but on their own, my net worth is solid and the tuition spigot is turned off, so my net worth can be supercharged after holding steady while cash had to be distributed for college – with each son helping with his own funds and earned scholarships. My story had made the new book! I was smiling from ear-to-ear as I read it. Well, I have been reading the new book and I could not believe my eyes when I got to Chapter 3. To my surprise, he published it as it’s own post a couple of weeks later. My comment was long and at first I was disappointed he did not release it on that post. I also mentioned I had just purchased The Next Millionaire Next Door and started reading it that day.Īnother thing I mentioned was how I commented on a blog post of your father’s here several years ago. I mentioned I have all your father’s books and give his first three books as gifts to friends who go into sales or start businesses. I commented on LinkedIn to you a couple of weeks ago as well. Sarah, Congratulations on completing and publishing The Next Millionaire Next Door.
