They "live" their dreams.
They see it... picture it... believe it... and make it happen.

There is a fantastic book called The Millionaire Next Door. It does a great job as describing the 'typical' millionaire. In the book they thought a typical millionaire would drive luxury cars, have super fancy clothes and houses. It turns out that isn't the case. Most millionaires drive used cars and have never spent more than $200 on a watch. Most people who have very expensive watches and cars have very little money as they have spent it on expensive things :-)
Most millionaires are ~60-65 years old and have owned their own business for about 30 of those years. They have carefully saved year after year after year. They have gotten there with hard work and spending discipline. They save 10% of every paycheck. They pay cash for everything except a house, etc., etc.

According to the US Department Of Health and Human Services, 74% of the wealthy people in the US got that way by being entrepreneurs.
Go to the library and read, RICH DAD, POOR DAD, and THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR. They are very good. Start with THE WEALTHY BARBER then read, THE TRAVELERS' GIFT, then follow that up with, THE ABCS OF MAKING MONEY.
If you want wealth, reading and applying these books will change your life. If reading isn't your thing, and inheriting wealth isn't in your future, then you better start playing the lottery.
Here are the facts though. Only 1% of the US population retires wealthy. Only 1% of those retire wealthy because of inheritance and lottery combined.
Go with the highest percentage. Be an entrepreneur.
Good luck.

Rich is a word used by people without money. People with money call it wealth. Anyone can build wealth. There are different levels of wealth.

by knowledge and investments. some do it
by narcotics like the u.s politicians do.
as you can see bush and schwarzenegger
always look like cocaine addicts
but anyways the main key to be rich in life is
by knowledge and investments like
i'm going to invest my money in
the corporations of coca cola, doritos,
and budweiser then money continues to flow
none stop.
