If I were making $250k a year, I would be a millionaire in not much time at all. Live off of $100k/yr and invest the rest. I'd be a millionaire in about 6 years.
In fact, I have been steadily saving 6-15%* 0f my income since 1991 and I am creeping up on $400k in savings. So, by the time I reach 62, I
might be a millionaire as it is. The smartest thing I ever did? >>Stopped listening to brainwashed Republicans.<< They all bust ass for peanuts, making their boss rich and getting nothing in return, if they don't end up dead from fighting some pointless war in the Middle East.......because that's the "Patriotic American Way".

What little they do make gets wasted on guns and four wheelers.

And you would still be planting trees in the desert. Probably have to work until you die, like all of the other wing nut imbeciles I know.
