Know:
Read or listen to The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko.
A quick note as you read: don’t get too hung up on all the numbers and statistics. The book is based on research, and some of the specific dollar amounts and data are dated.
Instead, focus on the principles, stories, and patterns the authors found about how people build wealth.
Understand:
Come prepared to discuss:
- What idea from the book surprised you most?
- What principle do you think is still true today?
- What part of the book feels dated or less relevant now?
- What is the biggest difference between looking wealthy and actually being wealthy?
- What is one idea from the book you would want to apply in your own life?
Also come prepared with one passage, story, statistic, or idea from the book that you would like to discuss with the group.
