Richer Than A Millionaire with Dr. Bill Danko

<p>Self imposed economic scarcity is the ability to divorce yourself from the beckoning call of society to consume for happiness.&nbsp;</p><p>In today's <strong><em>Better Wealth Episode, </em></strong>I had both the privilege and honor of interviewing Dr. William Danko who is a former emeritus professor of the School of Business and co-author of <em>The Millionaire Nextdoor </em>selling more than 4 million copies<em>.</em> Bill discusses his story of growing up after his father's death, his mom’s strength as a single parent, the care of a quadriplegic brother, and how all that led to a passion for frugality and legacy. Listen as we talk about strategies in his book such as “Paws and the Uaws”, Self Imposed Economic Scarcity, Scarcity vs. Abundance, Budgeting, and Economic Outpatient Care. We also review his new book <em>Richer Than a Millionaire</em>, discussing his construct of the “Subjective Well Being Scale”, Satisfied vs Unsatisfied, Passion, Taxes, Frugality, Avoiding Debt, Being Humble, Being Charitable, Having a Good Marriage, Having Good Health, Stewardship, and why millionaires that are happier are those that give more of their time and money to charity. Dr. Danko’s first book was what inspired me to begin my job at the bank and his second book is just as inspirational. It has been an honor to glean wisdom from this incredible interview with Bill.
