The Millionaire Next Door is also an amazing book from a few years ago. Many of the current millionaires (80%) are first generation rich. Most of that 80% got rich by either budgetting or paying yourself first (saving ~10% of every paycheque automatically), so paying yourself first does work. This book is great for insights into what habits and beliefs make people rich (self-employed people are really up there, btw).
I don't really have a set plan for when I want to be a millionaire, I'd like to be one before 30, but I am intending it every ~day. In a little while, I'll put together a solid plan for when/how I wanna be a millionaire, besides investing and so forth. There's lots of other stuff to focus on first and now (physical, fun and recreation, mental development). | I want to also recommend The Richest Man In Babylon |
