Many of President-elect Donald Trump’s cultural touchstones, which he’d frequently name-drop at campaign rallies and on Twitter, were at their peak in the 1980s — the decade Trump’s celebrity status rose in New York, Trump Tower was built, “The Art of the Deal” was published and he first flirted with running for public office.

“In The Millionaire Next Door the authors, Thomas J. Stanley and William D.

In the book’s prologue, Robin likens financially independent thinking to cartography – you need to create your own map…
