Welcome to Kiplinger's My First $1 Million series, in which we hear from people who have made $1 million. They're sharing how they did it and what they're doing with it. This time, we hear from a 54-year-old married real estate investor who lives in the rural Midwest. He and his wife, a government employee, both went to college, obtained graduate degrees and continue to work in their respective fields.
