@Eli RollinsYou're interested in starting in real estate at a young age, I'm of the opinion that it's better at your age to learn how to talk to girls.And since the thread is well and truly hijacked anyway, and no one reads past the first page of comments, it's a good place to attempt to put together the argument I've been trying to make more cogently.The figures that I quoted above -- that 98% of millionaire households in the USA in the 1980s were run by a married couple or widow/widower, and 95% of millionaire households in the USA today are run by the same -- come from two different research-based books written by business school professor Thomas Stanley, The Millionaire Next Door and Stop Acting Rich...And Start Living Like A Real Millionaire.Stanley died a few years ago and his daughter/research partner is coming out with a new book later this year revisiting the compelling arguments he made about the typical ways that wealth is built in America.

Stanley's daughter came out with a new book this month updating the research -- I haven't read it yet.Stanley identified several factors that keep you rich or poor: where you live, how much you spend on the house you line in, how much you spend on luxuries, how much debt you pay interest on, but I believe his most important finding is that a much higher percentage of millionaire men than normal will report on a survey that their spouse is more frugal than they are.Getting rich turns out to be very much a team sport, specifically, a team of two.
