For more than a year, we've been sharing the profiles of millionaires who've generously and honestly recounted how they made their first $1 million.
Our My First $1 Million series is at 61 profiles and counting (with many more to come) — from a novelist in New England and a 37-year-old banking executive (yes, 37), to the owner of a waste-hauling business and a retired middle school teacher.
Many of these millionaires have told strikingly similar stories about how they built their savings, and we noticed some trends among them, some of which we highlighted in the article 5 Key Insights We Learned From 50 First-Time Millionaires.
They've had some retirement regrets, too, which we wrote about in 5 Things 50 Millionaires Wish They'd Known Before They Retired.
This time, though, we want to turn the spotlight on you. Have you been paying attention? Do you know what it takes to become a millionaire yourself (if you're not already one!)?
