But more importantly, it makes being frugal a little bit of a sexy thing - showing that denying yourself useless treasures in the short term often leads to much bigger and better things in the long term. Its an interesting dichotomy as they show that underprivileged first-generation immigrants that work incredibly hard are the most likely to be "the Millionaire Next Door", but then are often likely to want 'better things' for their children and the cycle isn't necessarily repeated (or repeat-able). Most interesting were the chapters on gifting to children - and the (seemingly obvious, but not quantified) results.

Overall, an excellent study in what truly boils down to Millionaire mentality, and relative motivation. Well written, easy to understand, excellent message. Well done.
