Thank you most sincerely for the warm welcom Shamou. This attempt to help mentor a neighbor and friend is a first for us. My wife and I talk a lot with each other, but not often with others about wealth building. I do think that there are some core similarities amongst those that have achieved some wealth. The methods or businesses of getting there may be very different, but I think some core attributes are common amongst them.

We both really enjoy rereading The Millionaire Next Door and the Millionair Mind, just because it is very interesting to realize how much we have in common with many of the people profiled.

For whatever reason we've really found our "wants" changing over time, and they're much less centered around material possesions now. We find it a great feeling to know that we can buy about any material thing that we may want, but choose not to do so.

I'm continiuing to enjoy reading old posts here on this forum. There is a lot of great information and advice. I hope to be able to learn as well as contribute over time.
