Becoming rich can be summed up in one word. DISCIPLINE!
Do not spend money on things, just because you want them. Do without the frills, and invest the money that you saved.
Write down 5 things that are an absolute necessity for life. Cable, cell phone, internet, etc. do not fall into the category of necessities, rather luxuries.
If you smoke, quit. If you smoke 1 pack per day, and it cost you $4/pack, that equates to $1,460/yr that went 'up in smoke'.
Eat at home and don't eat out. Watch how much money you will save per week doing this.
Above all else, if you haven't already done such, establish a monthly budget. Know where your money is going.
I know this sounds foolish, but it is nothing that I don't tell my clients who ask me the same question you did. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will you accumulate your wealth overnight.
Stay disciplined, and set a realistic goal for yourself, as to when you want to be come 'rich'. Until then, be content with what you have, and save, save, save. Pay off highest interest bills first, and take that money you save, and pay off the next bill. No vacations (unless it is something that doesn't cost money), movies (other than what your library might offer for free), etc. until such expenses are taken care of.

There are several different ways of perhaps becoming rich.
The first priority should be schooling and working toward a degree. Once fulfilled a job would be next in line, of course one in your field.
Working diligently, investing your earnings properly and being wise in your decisions..
Eventually your efforts if conducted properly will pay off and you'll have a very prosperous life.
MOST IMPORTANT::: Wise choices in life bring reward..
or perhaps:::
You could inherit your riches...
Winning the Lottery would be an asset too!!!
There is also a book put out by the Dummies called "How to get Rich"... may be a good read for you.......

The stock was trading at $0.13 on 3rd September and exploded to over $1 the next day as predicted by their stock guru! (you can I invested $1000 and make $5000 in pure profits within a day! My only regret was not to invest more in the stock.

Well theres really no way to do that unless you save all the money you have no matter how little it is or rob a bank which would be stupid because you would get caught or have to live in hiding for the rest of your life.
