How are you planning on getting there? Or did you already make it?

keep working hard for that 1 million dollars. That is baby money these days. You should feel ashameed if you don’t have 1 million dollars by the time you are 50. By the time you are 65, you should have at least 2 million dollars. Stop living below your means.

Hell yeah – I’d take a million dollars any day! You could live off that for a while if you managed it well. And if you *worked for it* you’d have a much better appreciation too over winning it, say, in the lottery.

Yadgyu’s comments are pretty dumb. Exactly the kind of person who would be an UAW in the book being reviewed. Granted, a million dollars isn’t all that much, but it is still infinitely better than being in debt or having no money.

Yeah, right? Really really good book.... And one of the authors (Thomas J. Stanley) is on Twitter and really good at responding too! So you should totally hit him up when you're done and let him know what you think ;) http://twitter.com/thomasjstanley

I’m reading the book right now and loving it. I plan to take the million and use it to make exponentially more money.

Interestingly, the book says something about only 10% of millionaires receiving any inherited money, and they don’t plan to leave their money to thier loved ones. They expect their children learn the value of money and build their wealth their damn selves. Sounds like a good idea to me!

^ Pass money down to loved ones? Not a chance.

I work for me and me first. I am not here to provide an easy life for others. I work to provide for my family and have fun here and now. I have enough insurance to take care of my funeral arrangements. Any debts or expenses that I have incurred die when I die. I came here with nothing and I plan on leaving with nothing except for pleasant memories and good times.

No one should ever expect their parents to leave them with money after they die. Passing down money is really for rich people. If you are working hard to leave an inheritance for others, you have failed. Anything that is left when I die will be a bonus.

I have no problems at all becoming a millionaire. If you can save enough AND have fun/enjoy your life in the process, why not? And at the end of your good life you pass along your $ to your loved ones. I’m gonna keep striving for it – I don’t need/want a billion dollars, I’d go crazy.

The main idea I took from the book is that a million dollars is not a lot of money. I mean, the top 100 richest people in the world are billionaires. One billion = one million times one thousand. Does being a millionaire seem like a big deal when you aren’t even close to being recognized as rich?

A millionaire is just a person who will be envied by others but be taxed to death by the government. I definitely do not want to be a millionaire. It just does not make sense to work so long and hard for so little money.

Think BIGGER!
