"The Millionare Next Door" The suprising secrets of America's wealthy. ISBN

The same authors also have a new book, "The Millionare Mind". This is a
good answer to "If your so smart, why aren't you rich". Extropians should be
both."

Brian,
You are so right. I had defined for myself that the goals of an
Extropian are:
1. Health and life extension.
2. Wealth
3. Knowledge
We seem to have a lot of information about the first goal becoming
available and being discussed to some extent on this list.
If a person really wants the 2nd goal they could make a good start by
reading THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR. A second step is to read the pages of
Motley Fool available online and in PB at your local bookstore. A third step
would be to calculate the consequences of investing $2,000 per year at 11%
for a long term. The Motley Fool I believe advocates a lot of methods for
individuals that don't want to make investing a major undertaking.
