I started at an early age mowing lawns and delivering news papers. I eventually started my own small business. The key was always investing half my income and living below my means. Purchased used cars, nice clothes at goodwill, purchased a small home and saved until I could afford something larger. Some of my investments really took off during the stock market boom. I took most off the table and now continue to dollar cost average on a monthly basis in quality mutual funds. I was fortunate that parents paid for my college education ( I was a C student, lucky to graduate) so I took advantage of the gift and always made it a point to never carry debt. Being a millionaire can be accomplished by anyone with hard work and living below ones means. Time and money. I am a real believer in the Dave Ramsey program. Stick with it and anyone can reach their financial goals.
