first thing that i would do is to finish school and get a good paying job. from my good paying job, i would save a lot of money and buy myself a house and a car. i would also save money in the bank for it to grow for another expense that i will have in the future. in order for me to have a good retirement future, while it is early, i will contribute the max for my 401k. these are just few things that i consider to become successful in life.

Well i think banks doesn`t have that kind of interest rate to make you a millionaire or billionaire.I think you should not expend much so that you have the power to use money in a best possible way.I think you should save money and invest it into mutual funds,stocks,property and you might get the reward you want.There is certainly a risk attached to it but proper study of the subject can certainly help you.Well it is not easy but it is not too difficult too.So invest and see your money growing....!!!

well i started by going back to school in 2004. I am finally graduating in may. I have been in my career of choice for 13 years now so when i get the paper (degree) that combined with my experience should land me an excellent salary. let the bidding war begin hehehehe. I have already started saving to buy a better house which we plan to do in June!! i cant wait!! I do contribute to my 401k and when i get my nice fat salary lol I will add another 5% to my contribution since my company is now matching 50% of the contribution. We are about to pay off my husband's vehicle and then we will sell it and buy a vehicle we really need from the profit..one with no payments of course. my oldest daughter will start college in 2009 and well that will be very expensive so I try to save as much as possible each paycheck. when all my kids have graduated from college i would say that i have been rather successful and everything that I do today is to make a better tomorrow for them.
