Millionaire Janitor by Lorn Bergstresser is a compelling story that follows Horatio Jefferson, a man raised by a determined single mother who instilled in him the values of respect and hard work. Through Horatio's journey, readers will learn important financial and moral lessons about life. From a young age, Horatio aspired to live a comfortable life, ensuring he could provide for his family and help others. After completing his education, he began searching for a job and was fortunate to land a position as a janitor at his former school. During this time, he met people who offered guidance, mentorship, and inspiration. He married his longtime sweetheart, Melody, and together they decided to save and invest for the future, using her accounting knowledge to change their life trajectories.
Millionaire Janitor presents an entertaining narrative along with valuable financial advice. Horatio and Melody are exemplary characters who live humble and respectful lives. The book explores their love story and highlights seven life principles they learned during marriage counseling, which helped them in various areas of life and in their investment practices that focus on long-term success. Lorn Bergstresser also addresses social issues such as systemic discrimination against ethnic groups, misogyny in the workplace, sexual harassment, and teenage delinquency. Despite these dark themes, the author offers hope to readers who have been told they will remain in poverty forever and that they can never achieve their goals. Attaining success is indeed possible, but it requires patience, dedication, and a positive mindset. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was satisfied with the reflective ending, which illustrated what it means to live a happy and fulfilled life. Overall, this is great work.
