I just want a million dollars...or more (need actually reasonable answers, not some joke crap like mug Bill Gates or something like that).

Start a business, build it up, sell it. Unless you become an investment banker or top management consultant you are unlikely to save $1m working for someone else before you are 30, even if you live like a hermit.
Look at the richest people in the US - they're all self-made business entrepeneurs. You cite Bill Gates, he dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft (not that I recommend skimping on education) and was a multimillionaire in a very short time. If you have a great idea, a strong desire to succeed, and the skills to execute your idea well, there's no reason why you can't be a millionaire before you're 30.
And once you're well on your way, read the 'Millionaire Next Door' for examples of how to and how not to spend your money - hint... the richest people don't drive flash cars. Gates drives a Porsche, but it's several years old and has a number of dents.

Well, this won't make you a million bucks, but it sure will help you start saving some money to get closer, I guess. It's called TreasureTrooper. It is, in my opinion, and many others, the most legit, easiest, and highest GPT website. Best of all, you don't have to invest a dime, just your time. Some people make hundreds of dollars a month taking this site seriously. I have recieved checks from them, and so has everyone else in this 63 page thread of payment proof in their forum: http://forum.treasuretrooper.com/index.php?showtopic=17509&st=620&start=620
What I like the most, is that it's actually fun. You can collect gems and coins that you earned from offers and trade them in at the Trading Hut, go on treasure hunts for money, and other cool contests.

Either study real hard and get a graduate degree in some very hard to come by skill, or play the lottery.

smart real estate investments
Buy when prices are low, rent it out, sell when prices are high, hang tight until they get low again, repeat process
