Next Door

There's a book called The Millionaire Next Door. My copy is lent out. It tells of the "little guy" millionaire who does not act the stereotype.

He drives an older model car, he has lived in the same house for years, he doesn't wear the latest styles, he doesn't vacation in the Bahamas all the time or visit his Colorado home to ski.

He may not have inherited a bundle. He did not win the lottery. He doesn't make $100,000 a year. He's not an inventor or a drug dealer.

He may work well into his late 60s. He probably shops the ads and clips coupons. He is a content character, comfortable where he is, doing what he loves.

So, again, do not judge that book by the cover. Look around. There may be a millionaire living near you. Be encouraged. He probably got there slowly and steadily like the tortoise in the race.

'til later
