on 7/12/2008 been ACCOUNTING (scary word? then you're not fit for riches, trust me) and go invest in a training seminar. There are countless out there. Research and find one that'll teach you what you need to know.
I recommend Robert Kiyosaki's "trilogy" (look it up on Amazon), T. Harv Eker's "The Millionaire Mind" book, but oh, there are so many others. There is so much information out there on how to get rich. You do NOT have to ONLY do what this article says and remain forever in the wretches 95% percent of humanity which lives just so that one day it can get old and begin enjoying its dying years. Who wants THAT?
Remember, folks. Nothing is easy - but WHO WANTS NOTHING? HUH? *I* sure as hell don't.
To recap: this article is but ONE SMALL, TINY, MICROSCOPIC (although still very important) part of the FORMULA.

on 7/12/2008 Do what this article says, absolutely - including the tithing suggested by another commentator; very important - because that is the SECURE plan that will hold you up lest your grand ambitions were to "fail" (if there is such a thing; in reality, there is only giving up).
Once you've done that, GO PUT TOGETHER YOUR PLAN FOR ACTUALLY GETTING *RICH*.
Learn what kind of risk you can expect, and start being CREATIVE (like yet another commentator inadvertently managed to bring up). What do I mean by that?
Start your own company or found one with partners. Build it up. Create value. Sell it.
Start your own business. Create your own patent. Become an expert in something, write a book about it, create a training/speaking company and start drumming up business. Then sell it.
Learn to invest - prudently, NOT like a GAMBLER, folks. Learn the language of money, which is and always has

on 7/12/2008 "Being good to your children, and children in general, will make you richer than owning anything ever could. Have children once you have stable income and the richness they bring to your life is beyond material means."
Useless happy-go-lucky comment. People reading this article want to learn how to get RICH, not how to have kids.
As far as the article goes, it's sensible advice - and that is precisely the "problem."
The issue is not that the article is not correct in the advice it gives. In fact, it is crucial. However, it is only ONE part of a bigger plan, and anyone who goes along with this will invariably end up with exactly what the article says:
Old and grey, with a "few thousand dollars" extra.
Who reading these words wants to live his entire life waiting for the day he's old and has a "few thousand extra dollars," huh?
Here is the truth, folks:
