Thank you to Nicholas Brealey for sending me a free copy of 100 Things Millionaires Do.

I love reading books about money and personal finances (you can check out all of the other personal finances books I have reviewed here). A lot of the most popular money books are old and whilst they can still be relevant I’m always excited when I see a new book has been published about personal finances. So when I spotted 100 Things Millionaires Do, which was published in November 2019, I had to get my hands on a copy and give it a read.

100 Things Millionaires Do is written by Nigel Cumberland. Nigel has written a number of self-help and leadership books including 100 Things Successful People Do: Little Exercises for Successful Living. This book is clearly a follow on to that book. However, I haven’t read 100 Things Successful People Do.

In the introduction Nigel explains that the book will look at wealth from multiples angles:

• Goals and dreams
• Mindset and behaviours
• Relationships and people
• Timeframes
• Types of wealth
• Investment practices
• Success and setbacks
• Working and retirement
• Helping and giving

Each lesson is classed as a chapter and each chapter is only two pages long. The first page tells you the wealth lesson and then the second page talks you through how to put that lesson in action.

FINAL THOUGHTS FROM CHARELLE

In the beginning, Nigel outlines the topics that will be covered. However, I think it would have been more useful if the lessons relevant to those topics had been grouped together. Instead, it is just 100 lessons. To me it didn’t feel like there was a structure to the lessons. I read the book in two sittings (one evening and the next morning) and with a very short introduction and ending bookmarking the 100 lessons the book is only just over 200 pages.

With the title being ‘100 Things Millionaires Do’ I expected there to be more references of specific millionaires or even quotes from them. However, that wasn’t the case. Also, with a focus on millionaires, I expected the book to be for people at a certain point in their money journey. However, some of the tips focused on what I could class as the beginning of the personal finances journey such as paying off your debts.

Overall, I thought that Nigel gave some sound advice and I liked that it wasn’t just based on his own experiences, but was filled with statistics and research to really help you understand the financial landscape of those living in the UK and US. I’m sure if you follow through with the action points it absolutely will help you to create more wealth, but it doesn’t feel as easy to follow and act on as some other personal finance books.

WHO WOULD I RECOMMEND READS 100 THINGS MILLIONAIRES DO BY NIGEL CUMBERLAND

This book is suitable for people based in the UK and the US. Often money books are clearly written for a UK or US audience, however, in this book I felt that Nigel had made an active effort when recommending resources, companies and services that he would share one that was suitable for those living in the UK and one suitable for those living in the US. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to read a book that makes them think about their finances from all perspective. It would also be good for someone who struggles to read books and likes the idea of only having to read two pages and then being able to implement that lesson.
