The question is more why do you want to become a millionaire? It seems property is the only thing that really costs a lot of money these days, but that's only because certain geographic areas are more convenient for the majority of people (the majority of people who work for somebody else - so they can be close to their place of work, typically in large cities). So that has an inflationary effect on prices. I'm guessing there are lot of people on here who are already self-employed, and many of them could live in much more isolated areas - or the countryside - where property is cheaper. That is, assuming they make a living online (a big assumption I know).
I think maybe it's easier to aspire to millionairedom than to really sit down and think about what you want from life. If you fell into millions tomorrow, what would come next? Would you just try to make more and more?
The dreams of millionairedom are really inspired by large mortgage payments that tie people down into the same old lifestyle. They feel trapped. People really want to break free from mortgage slavery. You can sense that strong desire to lose the shackles. And it is perfectly understandable! I would suggest in all cases that becoming self-employed is the sensible choice to make if you want to feel more freedom in your day-to-day life. When you've done that, you won't necessarily feel a desire to 'quickly' become a millionaire. You will just appreciate the indepedence and believe me, it's a good feeling!
