Very few people end up with a net worth of $1,000,000. |
Posts like this make me cringe. It's true, but it's doesn't apply to anyone inparticular. Especially the readers here.
Don't place unnecessary restrictions on yourself simply because other people are too afraid to go out and acheive for themselves.
The great majority of people don't ever acheive substantial wealth, but it's usually because they're too afraid to risk the comfort and saftey their 9-5 provides. There's certainly nothing wrong with not wanting or needing alot of money, but don't let the statistics drag you down when they don't even apply to you.
As for me, I know I'll be a millionaire by the years end. I'm about a 1/3 of the way there. My original goal was two million by 25, but it just dawed me a couple of weeks ago that I'll have my first million by 2008, and there's really not much I can do to stop it
