When I first got married I was so poor the our taxable income was $0 for the first two years. We also were getting aid from social programs. Someone is footing the bill. Now that I have more money saved and investments and all taxes are a real concern. Totally don’t agree with the idea that rich people don’t pay taxes, or much taxes (if thats what it is arguing).

The truth of the matter is, these people tend to understand the value of money (unless they're sport stars or get crazy sums of money quickly-- and then all bets are off) and know what they can spend and where to get good deals.

Does the title mean "things millionaires won't tell you because they're not true", or does it mean "things millionaires won't tell you because they're ashamed of them"? Either way, there are some hefty double negatives in this list. Let me try to reduce the list to single-negatives. THINGS THAT ARE TRUE ABOUT MILLIONAIRES: 1. They think they're rich. 2. They don't shop at Walmart. 3. They got rich skimping on lattes. 4. They don't have a concierge for everything. 5. They get rich by being nice. 6. Taxes are for everyone. 7. I was NOT a B student. 8. I bicycle to work. 9. Money can't buy happiness. 10. I have no worries about the Trumps. Most of these don't make sense together when read this way. I think the list is actually a composite: some of the items are things that a millionaire won't tell you because they're not true, while others are things they won't tell you because they'd rather not. In other words, without more details, this is an annoying and useless list. -Wm I’m having a really hard time understanding this list.

I think it's one of the best, most straight-forward books out there. The automatic savings principles are what bring you freedom with your finances. The latte factor, like you say, is simply a tool to get you thinking about how small of a sacrifice you need to make to get to freedom. Great post, Bob.
