When Richard Paul Evans was twelve, his father, a building contractor, shattered both his legs. With no insurance, no income, and eight children, the family was destitute. At that difficult time young Evans was introduced to a kind multimillionaire who taught him the five secrets of wealth. Today, Evans credits those lessons not just with bringing him wealth and success but also bringing him freedom and opportunity in a world where financial slavery is ubiquitous.
In his signature motivational voice, Evans interweaves those influential lessons with personal stories from everyday people. He explains that money should not be the preoccupation of our lives. Rather, if we follow the five principles, we will be free to focus on God, family, and relationships — the true nourishments of life.
Wise and compelling, The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth will leave you with a new view of what it means to be rich — and convinced that you, too, can build wealth. The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth is endorsed by financial consultants, churches, schools, and marriage counselors.

I bought this book for 2 other people in my life. Great lessons to learn!!! Good read, and the fact he donates the money he makes on the book to charity shows there is a good lesson to learn here. — Good Lessons!!!
Concise yet insightful, this book is well worth the price. I would highly recommend this book. — Concise and Insightful
Definately a book that I will be giving to all my kids. It is a great guideline on how to really get out of debt and start saving! — Must Read!!
These lessons should be taught in schools for us to learn from a young age! I applied The 5 Lessons to myself and have stuck by them since the day I finished the book. I have changed my mindset and views on money, while completely turning around my financial situation to be in the best shape its ever been in!
This book is short and simple to read. It gives step by step instructions on how to develop a plan to become wealthy and change your view on money. It also underlines the point that you must give, and cannot let money rule you.
This book is perfect for people who do not have a plan for wealth, live paycheck to paycheck, are consumed by debt, or just want to learn how to manage their money better.
I have recommended this book to several friends and family, and I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn more about money and those who want to change their situation. Perfect book for a recent high school or college grad, or newly-wed couple. — The best lessons you will ever learn about how to manage your money!
Out of the 5 lessons, I got really excited about how the author explained lesson number 2 – Take Responsibility of Your Money. Within this lesson, he says that people should know how much money they have, where the money comes from, where the money is going, and what the money is doing.
I particularly like the part – what the money is doing. The reason why I got excited about this part is because of the excellent metaphors. We all go to school so that we can get an education, which, in turn, will help us get a job that will allow us to EARN money. Earning is good, but little emphasis is placed on learning how to get our money to EARN for us. The author says that taking care of money is like parenting where we cannot leave control of our children to someone else and just hope that they will turn out alright.
The author says that money can earn a lot more per year than our salaries. If we had an employee who sat around and did nothing, we would quickly fire him or her. But do we ever evaluate our money in terms of how it is doing? Few of us do. Instead we say that we don’t have time to manage it and outsource the management of our money to someone else. It is a big mistake. We spend so many hours earning it and refuse to spend a few more hours parenting our money.
