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 63-year-old retiree in the Chicago metro area who worked in supply chain management for airlines.
See our earlier profiles, including a writer in New England, a literacy interventionist in Colorado, a semiretired entrepreneur in Nashville, an events industry CEO in Northern New Jersey and a retired self-employed attorney on the coast of Washington.
