Overrated 
While the book has some interesting insights into the wealthy, what is the point of amassing a fortune if you're living well below your means? If you're looking to make some money I recommend you read some books on investing. Phil Town's book "Rule #!" is a great book based on the same investment strategies that Warren Buffet uses.

Great book 
I am a financial advisor and I frequently loan this book to clients and they usually love it. Its also a great book to give to young people.

I think we should all remember the fine line though, tomorrow isn't promised so don't kill yourself to save a couple dollars unless you think you are taking your $ with you when you die. I got through half of this book and just felt they could have gotten to the point in maybe 40 pages, why waste valuable time.more info
