" It never occurred to me to pick up a book about finance. I&amp;#039;ve never made much money so there&amp;#039;s never been anything to manage or invest.And I&amp;#039;ve never actually cared much about being rich (though I did care about higher education and now the government really cares about me paying them back). But then someone I know who is smart and charming (and, for the sake of full disclosure, an articles editor at Esquire) interviewed a ton of rich people to learn how they got rich and wrote a book about it, Rich Like Them, and I decided to read it in the hopes of breaking my assumption that money was just something that happened to other people. Ryan D&amp;#039;Agostino traveled to America&amp;#039;s wealthiest zip codes (20 towns in 11 states) knocking on doors and asking the people who answered (not the maids) how they became quite so rich.The advice and personal stories he gathered in his interviews are organized into chapters with titles such as &amp;quot;Luck Doesn&amp;#039;t Exist&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The Myth of Risk.&amp;quot; It was good to hear about a very diverse group of people&amp;#039;s success in their own words and to get really sincere advice, whether or not I&amp;#039;m going to, or am able to, follow it. The book is also very much about D&amp;#039;Agostino and all the (mis)adventures he had along his journey, which makes the book a funny read. Sadly, I was not magically rich when I finished the last page, but I was actually inspired to make a little money, which makes the book a success in my eyes.
