Chris Hogan, a financial coach at Ramsey Solutions, breaks down a survey study of 10,000 (yes, you read that right) millionaires in the U.S. to discover traits they have in common and encourage others that they, too, can build wealth through hard work, living within their means, and saving for the future.

I think what this book suffers from most is preaching to the choir. The first half of the book is busting millionaire myths - that people with a net worth of a million dollars (in most cases, not huge paycheck earners) inherited wealth or that they went to prestigious universities. Hogan builds a case that millionaires are actually pretty average people. Many of them went to state school, and 74% never inherited anything. The second half of the book then delves into character or personality qualities of millionaires; for example, they are goal-oriented. It ends up being very repetitive and not really teaching me to do anything differently from what I'm already doing: budgeting, living within my means, saving in retirement plans. I could've done with a short article that gave me the percentages, but other than that there's nothing new for me here and his motivational-speaker tone was really grating.… (meer)

Financial advisor Chris Hogan gives advice on planning for retirement.

If you're familiar with Dave Ramsey and his Total Money Makeover, you may also be familiar with Chris Hogan, who works with Dave. They have a similar conversational style of writing, a lot of exclamation points, and reading their books almost works better when you can have their voices in your head. But it's very solid, practical advice. I enjoyed my time reading - it was interesting, not dry, and I learned a lot. Not surprisingly since he works for Ramsey Solutions, Chris's philosophy to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and save diligently for retirement is part and parcel of Dave Ramsey's "baby steps" plan to get out of debt and build wealth. So it makes sense if you've been through the class or read Dave's books, while focusing specifically on the details of "Step 4" - put aside 15% of your income in retirement. That's about where I am in my own financial planning, so I got a lot out of the book. Chris stays positive even if you haven't been saving and are getting close to retirement, but it's especially helpful for younger people in their 20s and 30s who can really gain a lot from saving now. He breaks things down simply and clearly in a way that will make you excited to reach your own goals for retirement.… (meer)
