Comments on: How I Became A Millionaire (Part 4: My Thirties) http://millionairemommynextdoor.com/2009/02/how-i-became-a-millionaire-part-4-my-thirties/ A self-made millionaire shares her recipe for success, happiness and financial freedom Tue, 15 May 2012 20:28:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: jackie http://millionairemommynextdoor.com/2009/02/how-i-became-a-millionaire-part-4-my-thirties/comment-page-1/#comment-3279 jackie Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:59:02 +0000 http://millionairemommynextdoor.com/?p=259#comment-3279 Great read. Though i would have to point out that if you had become a parent in your twenties, the likelihood of gaining so much wealth would have been significantly small. The majority of people who become parents in their 20's and 30s do not gain a large amount of wealth due to all the expenses attached to parenthood. The exception of course may be the doctor, lawyer or investment banker who make substantial amount of money to begin with. But in reality, It really isn't that hard to gain substantial wealth in a two income, frugal family with no children. The true challenge for many of us is managing our households on modest incomes when there are children involved. I have found that even being extremely frugal have yielded very modest results. It is true that the majority of millionaires and others "well off" are self employed (own businesses). Great read.

You've made some great moves throughout your life. I'm curious, how hard (or was it all hard) to talk your husband into selling your home? Did he just have complete faith in you? Or was it a joing effort? Just curious because you said so many around you were skeptical of selling your home to rent. Thanks CarA I love your entire story!
