It appears that others are discovering the Surprise Millionaires phenomena. One financial institution is even attempting to educate its customers regarding the benefits of frugality and wise investing. The article is great and right on target but the statement that really grabbed me is one that expands on an idea I have spoken about at length here at the Surprise Millionaires:
“The correlation between being a millionaire and occupation is completely random. More than what you do for a living, the manner in which you live your life will determine your financial outcome.”
In other words, “anyone can accumulate wealth”! I say it much more simply but the message is the same. Consistent, long term, saving and investing will result in wealth accumulation. And just how do you maximize the funds you are able to invest? Frugality of course!
Google University of New Hampshire and librarian. A librarian who worked there for 50 years recently died and left his $4 million estate to the library!
Thank you! Always on the look out for new Surprise Millionaires!!
Absolutely true! Income by itself is a poor predictor of whether one becomes a millionaire or not!
