Know or do something someone will pay millions for or millions will pay something for. Serious, work hard. Perfect a skill. ****** SPEND LESS THAN YOU MAKE****** Be Patient. Most millionaires became rich over time. They worked hard and saved and invested their money. They don't own the biggest and latest in everything. Get the book, "the millionaire next door" or "Rich dad poor dad."

There are many ways but the safest bet is to go to school of course but get an advanced degree. Again, there are a lot of things that have to go right and it all depends upon when you want to become a millionaire. Get an advanced electrical engineering degree and an MBA and you'll have a good shot at becoming a CEO, CTO etc.

Work hard, be frugal, save every cent that you possibly can. Start an individual IRA, put as much as you can in it, for your retirement. I'm almost there, and started out with a paper route, when I was in school. My family was poor, my father died when I was 4 years old, Mother had a hard time feeding us, but we made out ok, I was lucky, found a good job, stuck with it for 30 years, retired 2 weeks after my 51st birthday. I went to school many times with cardboard in the bottom of my shoes, now I can afford any pair that I want it, but you should see what I have on today. I'm not out to impress anyone, just don't want to ever be penniless again.

Work hard; save your money and or invest it and pray so that if and or when you do become a millionaire that it is a blessing from God and NOT the devil; and that you do what is right with the money.
KJV Bible
Matthew 19:21; Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22: But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24: And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25: When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26: But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27: Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28: And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29: And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30: But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
If you are a believer; be careful what you wish for…you might get it.

Do a case study of 12 poor families. Watch them for 6 months to a year. Then don't do anything they do.

Save money, energy, etc. You could also invest in stocks, but you'll have to wait for results.
Or...
You can cram info and go on a game show, they seem to give a lot of money if you win.

Double a penny a day for a year and you'll be there. Make sure you don't spend any before the year is up or you'll need to start over. :)
I am at 64 cents as of today. You need to be patient and consistent, do it everyday.
