A Guide to Living the Lifestyle of the New Rich
The 4-hour Work Week, Escape the 9-5 and Get a New Life.
Tim Ferriss suggests that wealth itself is not the aim but a means of achieving a lifestyle. His book, The 4-hour Work Week, argues that a better approach to quality of life is not to wait for retirement but to spread a series of mini-retirements through life. Combined with an alternative portfolio career it will provide the lifestyle of what he calls the New Rich. For the New Rich it is about a rich lifestyle rather than simply getting rich.
In The 4-Hour Work Week Timothy Ferris suggests his lifestyle challenges traditional concepts of retirement as old-fashioned. It is a manifesto for living more, working less and living the dream. He makes a distinction between the wealthy who are usually hard at work making money and his New Rich. The moneymakers put off living their dreams until a mythical someday while Ferriss' New Rich are working smart and already living the millionaire lifestyle along the way.
