Stop Acting Rich: . . . And Start Living Like a Real Millionaire

Acknowledgments

Most important, I acknowledge my wife, Janet, for her strong guidance, patience, and assistance in the development of this manuscript.

Many thank-yous are accorded to my children for their contributions to this project. Dr. Sarah Stanley Fallaw did an outstanding job in searching and interpreting much of the current literature that served as an important base for the measures and concepts included in this work. Bradford T. Stanley's perceptive inputs and comments about the topic selected were invaluable. And for the second time in a row, his recommendation for a title for the book won first place!

I cannot offer enough thank-yous to all those who shared their case histories.

The Survey Research Center, Institute for Behavioral Research, at the University of Georgia once again did an outstanding job collecting and tabulating the survey data for this book. I commend Dr. James J. Bason, director of the institute, for his leadership and commitment to excellence in carrying out this project.

Acknowledged are the extraordinary patience, effort, and brilliant statistical and computer analysis shown by Kathleen J. Shinholser. Also, special thanks go to Linda White, who yet again did an outstanding job in formatting the questionnaire used in the national survey. Lesly McCollum's work in coding and Mallory Abramson's data entry must also be commended. These tasks were carried out with great effort and painstaking accuracy.

A million thank-yous go to my editors, Pamela van Giessen ...
