Save money to buy assets.
Avoid liabilities (30-year mortgage, credit card debt, etc.)
Wealth = how long your investment income supports you without eating into principal.

There was some nice motivational stuff at the end about "pay yourself first," and "dollars are your employees," etc., but I really don't understand the hype over this man's "story".

The entire book would make a nice introduction to a real economics lesson, but don't read it hoping to learn anything not mentioned above.
