Millionaire Wealth Building Is Not Rocket Science

I've always been intrigued by wealth in our North American society. I would like to share some of my core findings and get you on the way to becoming wealthy and fulfilled. First, a few questions. Are your core values in line with most millionaires? Are you setting wealth goals and tracking them honestly in order to substantially increase your net worth? Who are you? Is wealth part of your life equation? What does it mean to be a fulfilled millionaire? Pick up any newspaper and you'll see there is plenty of news about millionaires. They seem to be proliferating like bunny rabbits. Each year the North American millionaire ranks grow. Let's be crystal clear, being a millionaire means having a net worth of a million dollars. In accountant geek talk, this means having more assets then liabilities. Just because you live in a big house and drive a flashy car (with that pretty scarf around your neck) doesn't necessarily mean you are a millionaire. Underneath all that chutzpah may be huge loans and the ever-mounting credit card debt. And don't get me going about credit card debt - there's another subject that has seen plenty of news coverage lately. One of my favourite books is the well-researched "The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley, PhD. He writes that most millionaires are normal folk, who don't look, dress or eat or act like our North American perception of millionaires. Here are a few research statistics quoted from "The Millionaire Next Door."
