I wish it was that easy. I dont come froma wealthy family. The secret is to invest your money wisely and invest all that you can. Dont live out side of your means and cut out all extra-curricular activities.

You dont have to eat t-bone when you can eat ground chuck. you dont need cable or sattilie tv. You dont need a big house, and you dont need to go out every now and then. Its the theory of delayed gratification. Work hard when you are a young enough to work hard, that way when you are older you can do what you want. I plan to.

I'm no genius, I'm not any smarter than anyone else, just more disciplined. And if you wait for the lottery to save you then you are no better than the dead-beat on wealfare. Its still a hand out, just one that I dont have a problem with its exsistence.

Find a niche in society by offering a service people need. For me its computers. Sell that service cheaper than anyone else but still at a profit. Make sure that you offer a better quality product than your compitition. Its hard work, dilligence, and discipline.
