Middle-Class Millionaire: Surprisingly Simple Strategies to Grow and Enjoy Your Wealth

by Clark A. Kendall

The middle class makes up most of the population. Defined as a household that earns a yearly income that hits above the poverty line but falls shy of the upper class, people in the middle class come from all walks of life, hold various types of jobs, and lead vastly different lives. One aspect does tie them together: they work hard to live well, and without realizing it, may be on the path toward becoming a millionaire.

In this day and age, millionaires aren’t as rare as they used to be, with many individuals possessing at least one million dollars of amassed net worth by the time they retire—including the value of their home(s), cars, financial assets, and other assets. By living within their means, saving well, and spending wisely, members of the middle class can soon be part of a group that is growing by the day: the middle-class millionaire®️.

In this informative and comprehensive guide, Clark Kendall, CEO and founder of the successful investment management firm Kendall Capital, shows you just how to secure your financial future. Middle-Class Millionaire is full of applicable insight into the ins and outs of short- and long-term saving, spending, and investing, for those working toward a safe and comfortable retirement.

Living well in the years up to retirement and beyond depends on your financial preparedness. Let Middle-Class Millionaire help get you there.

This book is phenomenal. I love the anecdotes, the practicality, and the fact that it’s not a “get out of debt” finance book. It’s a “here are ways you can help your money grow” book that includes personal experiences from folks who have already done it. So good. Highly recommend.

An interesting read, although reading it in your 20s rather than your 50s is to be recommended! Some useful tips.

Pretty basic stuff for 75% of this book. Not bad to review it though. There was some helpful strategies for retirement planning that I really liked and hadn’t considered before.

[Dale Dewitt · Rating 4 out of 5]

I felt this is a good guide for basic saving investing and careful planning that anyone can follow. My wife and I are adherents to the FIRE movement and many of the tips in this book do align with the principles. I felt that the information was valuable and if followed closely, anyone can be a Middle-Class Millionaire.

This has solid advice. No one book is going to tell you all you need to know about your finances, but this has great advice and guidance, particularly if you don't have a lot of experience managing your finances. It's a bit broad (doesn't do a deep dive into what you should do), but hits the big things to consider. Recommended.

I really appreciate the comp copy for review!!

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a really good starting point for someone planning for retirement. It was easy to read, not too "jargony," but kept my attention. I highlighted several tips which I know will come in handy in both my personal finances and professional work.
