The New York Times–bestselling author of The Millionaire Next Door reveals the spending and saving habits of financially successful women.

Millionaire Women Next Door presents a variety of groundbreaking concepts involving the personality, lifestyle, motives, beliefs, and spending habits of economically successful American businesswomen. Most of these women report being raised in nurturing family environments. They were trained not only to succeed financially but also to be generous in giving to noble causes. Stanley asks, “How did these businesswomen become millionaires? They did it by doing more of the key activities and achieving better results than most of their male counterparts.”

Hopeful, helpful, and riveting book

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2004

Verified Purchase

If you're a woman who didn't quite see yourself in The Millionaire Next Door, there's hope. Women are different than male millionaires in several important ways. For example, the typical male millionaire has married once and remains married, but over half of female millionaires have been divorced. Women are also more generous than men.
The book mainly talks about business owners becoming wealthy, but it also talks about alternatives to business ownership. Stanley profiles a star saleswoman, educators (a wealthier group than you realize), and stay-at-home women who act as managers of their "family office". He also discusses parenting your children so they can develop a millionaire mindset. Many situations are presented in this book, so you can probably find something that will apply to you.

As for helpful advice, the author points out cautions women need to consider. Women need to watch out for the "Marginal Bob" worthless first husbands. Women also often provide continued financial support to their grown children and grandchildren. This "economic outpatient care" hurts both parents and children.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and thoroughly researched. I will buy more copies for graduation gifts.

Looks at most of the businesses women own and how much profit there is in each.

Everyone should read this book and THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR. They don't tell you where to invest your money or what to invest it in. Instead they tell you how to avoid the mistakes that keep people from being able to retire comfortably. Well written and easy to understand. Well worth the time it takes to read it.

Smart read, flaws and all...

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2008

This book is definitely worth a read for two reasons:
(1) the subject matter is an area where there just aren't a lot of books, and
(2) this book says some of the non-politically correct things that most books / shows / people in society like to side step, but that its really validating to hear.

Like his other books, his focus is almost entirely on self-made women, rather than those who come from financial means. I was a bit startled to read that one woman's mother told her to pick a job working with men - not competing with women - because the work and pay would be better. Hadn't heard that from anyone but my own grandmother - and it's proven to be some of the best career advice I ever received.

On the other hand, this book did feel much less organized and less thoroughly researched than Stanley's earlier books. Like some reviewers have noted, there is a chapter on a dyslexic gentleman who does well for himself. It's a good story, but leaves the reader wondering why it's in THIS book, exactly.

The tone can be rather patronizing - it acknowledges that women's relationships can be a huge factor in how they save money (working at home v. careers, dodging the egos of husbands and male coworkers, etc.), but it also very clearly and supportively acknowledges a woman's need to be capable of financial independence. You walk away from the book feeling like a woman's best option is to achieve as much as a man does, but keep her mouth shut about it. Which may be true - if it is, kudos for having the guts to say it. But either way, I'd have preferred a little more examination of the socio-economic factors that come into play in this regard, since based on the author's coverage, it's a bigger factor for women than the millionaire men he's covered previously.

I'd also have loved a more in-depth look at HOW women make the money, rather than how it affected them to have the success that they did. Other than an admittedly great story about ONE car saleswoman, we don't get much of a look at the in-depth beliefs and daily work habits of these women. Instead, we get an in-depth look at their upbringings, their marriage habits ... which is all well and good, but it'd be better with both the past and the present (financial and non-) being examined.

The reader gets jumped from investigations of millionaire women's relationships and upbringings, to their professional choices, spending habits, bits of wisdom, etc. and it all is never really tied together as a cohesive whole. It seems that he just grabbed a cool story here, a reader's letter there, and made a passing grab at a spreadsheet or two, and threw it all together for the reader to sort out.

The book is a definite potluck - a little bit of everything. But the individual components are very interesting, very rare, and its information that I - and a lot of other women - are definitely interested in hearing. I've recommended it quite a bit. It's well worth wading through the hotchpot of goodies to pick and choose the items that motivate and instruct you.

Great subject, but lacked content and too marketed

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

Like most here, I greatly enjoyed MMND. Seeing my wife started to do well, I bought MWND for her...but I couldn't help reading it.

OMG...the author really did repeat the same notions over and over...apparently to *reach* the female audience. To show them that he understands how they feel. That is condescending and a big waste of the readers' time.

Still, the content that is there (minus the repeative parts) is very good if you are serious about becoming wealthy.

Specifically, I was very interested by the comparison of women raised by nuturing parents to women not raised in nuturing parents. The difference is very motivating in creating nuturing environments in one's *present* life...something that is fairly easy to overlook...not only in relationships, but also physically (office space, no clutter, nutrition, exercise, etc.).

I absolutely loved this book! When I originally read Stanley's Millionare Next Door, I was put off that all the data was regarding men (but that it is still a very good book). I was suprised to stumble on this book and am very glad that I did!

Recently, before reading the book, I made the assumption that for women, money correlates with charity. Look at Susan Sarandan w/ the Heffer program and Oprah w/ her various charity beliefs...Awesome women who know how to give back to the world.

I feel it in my bones that this book is one of the variables in my life to lead me to success. It has opened my eyes and confirmed my assumptions to obtain success. And has also provided me w/ many other aspects and details I found interesting.

This is a definite book to have in your collection if you are serious about obtaining success. Not just monetary success but happiness w/in yourself and the community/world you live in.

Great book, but learn what a UAW, AAW and PAW is.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015

It is an awesome book. My suggestion is to know what an AAW is an Average accumulator of wealth a UAW is an Under accumulator of wealth and a PAW is a Prodigious accumulator of wealth. I'm reading it on the kindle so I couldn't just page back to easily and he talks about this a lot throughout the book. So much that I googled what they were.and wrote them down. So if you get the book write these down so you can remember them as well.
