This is a motivational book. It is one about taking responsibility for your life. The book is not only for the late teens or early twenties. It is also a great inspirational book for people in their 30's right up to people in their 70's.One of the important points that Tom corson-Knowles emphasizes is that rich people don't only behave differently from the majority of society, they behave differently as well. While middle-class earners focus on being comfortable (and saving some money), rich people focus on earning money, and a lot of it. Rich people also don't think that having a lot of money is evil.I love these three passages from the book, which I will post on one of my websites or in one of my quote books:"If you still believe that the economy is the reasonyou are broke then you will always be broke.Because the economy is never going to solve your problems.ONLY YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS."-- Tom Corson-Knowles"I'd rather aim for trillionaireand settle for millionaire than aimfor nothing and stay broke all my life.How about you?"-- Tom Corson-Knowles"Financial independence gives you thetime and the resources to truly makea difference with your life instead ofjust trying to get by. True abundancecomes when you have financialindependence -- and the entire world benefits."-- Tom Corson-KnowlesEven though this book may not necessarily offer anything amazingly new for people who have already read books such as "The Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker or "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, Tom Corson-Knowles's "Rich by 22" is a great book to use as a daily reminder for what it takes to attain financial independence and true prosperity. Tom also makes the important point that prosperity is in the eyes of the behoulder. Some people can feel rich and prosperous with a lot less money than it takes for others to feel rich and prosperous.
