I agree nun.

Plenty of shonks out there. I like the response of a highly successful millionaire in the book - The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secret's of Americas Weathy by Dr.Stanley & Dr. Danko

You know the guy who got so sick and tired of being cold-canvassed by Financial Planners, Brokers & Hedge Funds et al. That he would request evidence of their returns for the last 5 financial years, and if they made better returns than he was able he was more than happy to do business with them.

Not one was willing to "put-up" the bonafides of their returns.

Although a little outdated a fascinating read and certainly contains many facts about how people can succeed. Also, details a lot of myths about wealth accumulation and who the real rich are. Frugal hard workers generally.

Here's an excerpt
