That is a good thing. It's ok if this game isn't right for you right now. If I were you - I would head to the library and read as much as possible. You can even download this book- one of the most recommended - for free here: http://www.eventualmillionaire.com/blog/Resources/ThinkandGrowRich.pdf Write that goal down, and keep moving forward towards it. I also have a free webinar tomorrow night- it's all about starting a business in 2012. https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/559408126 Hope that helps! Warmest, -Jaime So you have a goal!

I have been poor so long that I can't think of any things I would want above a decent home. (On my income I've been living for years in rented rooms, sharing homes with drunks, druggies, and bums...and I hate it more than I can articulate. Being poor and living with drunks, druggies, and bums means you NEVER can have peace, quiet, or solitude.) I'd put it all into building assets and a business, but then I'm no fun.

(who doesn't?) But once I looked into it deeper I realized I don't need a million. I can lead a rich life without a ton of money. Then I realized that I can lead a rich life, and it's still ok to have a goal of a million dollars. :) That's why I started this blog. Thanks so much for reading it.

I dream that I want to make €1m per year. But don't know how I would spend it. We're probably best served identifying the simple things in life that make us happy. If that leads to lots of money, so be it... Nice post. I dream that I want to make €1m per year. But don’t know how I would spend it.

I think it is interesting that we find it's not actually the million dollars we want but the journey. We don't need a million dollars to have a wonderful life. We have a wonderful life now! But a million dollars is a good goal and the journey leading to that million will be a wonderful experience. Just remember the important things on the way there! .-= Daniel´s last blog ..<a href="http://runnerspassion.com/2010/06/strengthen-ankles/">Strengthen Your Ankles</a> =-.
