A reader named Tom posted a comment recently on The Millionaire Next Door review:

One other area that bothered me a little about the book…they never addressed WHAT all those millionaire wanted to do with all that money or WHY they tried to accumulate so much wealth… Of course, you could be a millionaire to buy more stuff, but is that really what motivates us?

  • Is it "ok" to become wealthy?
  • What does the Bible say about attempting to build wealth?
