Everybody tells you that ordinary people become millionaires. That part is true. About one American household in eight has a net worth over a million dollars - sixteen million families, most of them the first in their family to get there, most of them on ordinary incomes.

What almost nobody prints is the clock.

It takes about thirty-one years. And the first eight of them feel like nothing at all.

That is why people quit. You save diligently for six years, look at the balance, and it seems as though you have been doing this forever for nothing. So you stop, or you go looking for something faster, and the faster thing costs you money. Nobody told you that year six is supposed to look like that. Nobody showed you the shape of the curve.

This book shows you the curve. It is drawn from public data - the Federal Reserve's survey of American family balance sheets, and official labour and price statistics - rather than from anybody's testimonials, and every number in it is printed with the arithmetic so you can check it yourself.
