Looks deceive. In \u201cThe Millionaire Next Door,\u201d the authors describe them as people who don\u2019t wear fancy clothes, drive older cars, and don\u2019t spend every dime they make. Looking at them, you wouldn\u2019t imagine the wealth they possess. Flashy cars and big houses often mean large debt and little savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t chase wealth; chase Jesus.
