To earn advanced degrees at the best universities and 3. To be smarter or more intelligent than competitors.However, as Stanley and Danko explain in this book, a 20year study of a group of more than 1,000 realworld millionaires found the keys to building high net worth in the United States were more likely to be fiscal discipline, sacrifice and solid work. According to Stanldy and Danko, anyone who wants to actually achieve financial independence can use this information to realign their lifestyle to incorporate these same keys.The Millionaire Next Door is an entertaining book which changes people's lives and increases their net worth.
