How does someone actually get ahead in life in a small town without moving? How do people get millions?

Answer 1

First question first. What are you trying to get ahead of?

Second question: You get millions by learning how earn, save, invest, and earn more money instead of earning and spending it. It's that simple and it's thousands of times harder than its explanation. You're going to have to learn that money is a tool. As in any trade, you're going to have to learn how to use your tool capably. I recommend you start by finding books at the public library about investing and making yourself rich.

Good luck.

Answer 2

If you figure that out, let me know huh?

only 3 ways I know to get millions:

1) Be born into it
2) hit the lottery
3) come up with some new idea or invention that everyone wants or needs and bust your butt pushing that idea.

I am sure someone like Bill Gates doesn't clip too many cupons when he goes grocery shopping , but I am sure there was a time when he ate a lot of PB andJ before he "made it"

I figure if I had every penny I made from the time I started working until now, it would have to be close to 1 million.

Answer 3

Most millionaires acquire there money through the ownership of a small business. Generally, its from mundane things like accountants, a couple of McDonalds or a car repair garage.

Usually it takes 10+ years to make your first million - the second is much easier!

Answer 4

most people get rich by taking advantage of other people.
