It is believed that every salary earner cannot break the threshold of a great life as evident in a lot of salary earners. Salary earners complain of lack of sufficient money but when promotions come and salaries go up, in a few months the complaints resume. Our belief system and habits as salary earners is a major source of either failure or success. Decisions that include the type of car we drive, the kind of mortgage we take, and so on go a long way to determine how healthy our lifestyle will be.

Very informative and realistic
The book gives a ton of great information for reader to understand how they can get ahead financially. The items that would have the best impact would be those employees can start early in their career. so I thought it was beneficial those were covered earlier in the book. Ideally, people in their 20's would read this and understand early on in their life how their choices can make such a huge difference - such as shopping patterns. Thought the examples where numbers demonstrated the effect of compounding made a great impact.
