become a millionaire

A million isn’t that much any more…not that I have that much but…I know its not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. My next major step towards becoming a millionaire is quickly coming to a realization. I’m looking to buy my first home, right now I am scheduled to close on June 3rd. Lot of hurdles to jump prior to that. We will see, I’m a little nervous about paying for the mortgage and all the expenses that come along with a house. Oh well, I think its the right time to buy, hopefully my paycheck will grow over time as well.

So my work matches a portion and I am putting in more than that. I need to start putting some in my Roth IRA again.

I was flipping channels on the TV this morning and I watched about 5 minutes of this show on MTV called Laguna Beach. It really makes me rethink this. What’s the point of being wealthy if chances are your kids are going to be spoiled morons. Or at beast stuck up. I’d like to think that if I had money I would do something better, something more productive. Maybe happiness is in the chase. Maybe thats where I need to improve my world. Make a living or a furtune by improving the world?? I live in the U.S. We are so spoiled here. I just don’t know why being rich is so great. Money won’t make me happy. Every raise I get is just another bill to pay. Money may make life easier but it will never make you happier.???

The only way I know how to do this is live below your means. Or spend less than you earn, so thats what I try to do. Man its hard when you don’t make very much.
