Think and Grow Rich in New Zealand.
Filed under: General Budgeting, Life in New Zealand, Retirement, Pensions and Kiwisaver, Things to do
Last night we went to the first of 10 weekly study groups to read and study the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This is being run by a friend of mine, Maggie, of the Success Leaves Clues blog in my blog roll. Her blog contains weekly motivational messages, and a daily quotes, and is well worth a look if you need a bit of a pick me up.
As to the study group – why on earth would you need to go to a group in order to read a book??? Well, I read a lot. An awful lot. I love books, and devour them a quite a rapid rate. And much to my embarrassment, there are two books that I ave never been able to read: The Silmarrillion and Think & Grow Rich. So I figured Maggie’s study group might come in handy. It turns out that in the group, only three people had actually managed to complete the book: Maggie, my hubby and one other member. SO im not alone.
The thing is this is a classic “wealth creation” book; I have read a lot of such books over the past 4 years as I have turned round from being broke to being financially stable. While I may not be wealthy yet, these books have really given me a good start, so it has always been a bit annoying not to have read this particular one.
As usual, there was a mixed bunch: a couple of Property Investors, two students, one happy-to-be-an-employee (hubby – bless him), business owners and out-of-workers. Funnily enough – we were the only migrants other than a Chinese lass. There were certainly a number of Kiwis in the room who wish to “think and become rich”. One day I do hope that migrants to New Zealand will give up on the stereotype that all Kiwis are happy being poor and don’t want to be rich.
There are still spaces left for the Wellington group, which meets in Lower Hutt on Friday evenings. Please do contact Maggie at Success Leaves Clues if you are interested. If Friday night is an indication – this looks like being well worth while.

Yeah I have read the book, although it took six months to get all the way through it in the end! It’s interesting to see how many other, more recent authours, are using the same material in modern language.
Tell me what you're thinking...
