> High status professional are expected to drive nice cars and live in a big house. It's harder to be a millionaire if you're spending a lot of money.

> The authors were surprised to find that a lot of the Americans with a net worth over a million did not fit any of the "millionaire stereotypes" at all. They drive an old pickup truck and drink Bud Light.

So do you think people want the money, or do they want a big house and a fast car?

Exactly the reason I didn't like "The millionaire next door". For me it misses the point completely.

This book assumes that people want to be "millionaire" in order to stare at a 7 digits number before they die.

That's your prerogative, and there's nothing wrong with that. Others may prefer the freedom and stability afforded by a large amount of wealth-generating assets.
