(1)They're just like you, but with lots of money. When you think of "millionaire", what image comes to your mind? For many of us, it's a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle. that would make Donald Trump proud.

(2)But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivate them aren't material possessions but the choices that money can bring. "For the rich, it's not about getting more stuff. It's about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want, " says T. Harv Esker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job you don't like.

(3)According to the Spectrum Wealth Study, an annual survey of America's wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever before-the number of millionaires nearly doubled in? the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. To make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, a mere billionaire no longer makes the cut. This year you needed a net worth of at least $1.3 billion.

(4)If more people are getting richer than ever why shouldn't you be one of them? Here are the secrets revealed by the people who have at least a million dollars in liquid assets.

1. Set your sights on where you're going

(5)Twenty years ago, Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth. He was a college drop-out who struggled to support his wife, Deanne and three kids, working as a grocery store clerk and at junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts(囚犯)."At times we were so broke that we washed our clothes in the bathtub because we couldn't afford the laundromat. "Now he's a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina.

(6)There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knew he'd be rich. The? reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff.

(7)Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step. Esker says, "The biggest obstacle to wealth is? fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you'll only achieve small things."

(8)It all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party. "Talking to him, it? felt like discovering fire, "he says. "I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store, and I began putting $25 a month in a mutual fund. "Next he taught a class at a local community college on investing. His students became his first clients, which led to his investment. "There were lots of struggles, says Jeff, "but what got me through it was believing with all my heart that I would succeed."

2. Educate yourself

(9)When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high-tech job-but he couldn't balance his checkbook. "I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip, "says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado." I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement(结算单).

(10)One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us? avoid investing because we just don't get it But to make money, you must be financially literate. "It bothered me that I didn't understand this stuff, "says Steve, "so I read books and magazines about? money management and investing, and asked every financial whiz(高手) knew to explain things to me."

(11)He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars, cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they could afford a more expensive one. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.

(12)Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. "Someone would say, 'I need to refinance my house-what should I do? A lot of times, I wouldn't know the answer, but I'd go to find it and learn something in the process," he says.

(13)In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal-Mart. He also started going to real estate investments seminars, and it's paid off: He now owns $30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and quarry.

(14)"I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little? self-education, " says Steve. "You can do anything once you understand the basics."

3. Passion pays off

(15)In 1995, Jill Blackhawk Strachan and her husband were barely making ends meet. Like so many of us, Jill was eager to discover her purpose, so she splurged on a session with a life coach. "When told her my goal was to make $30, 000 year, she said was setting the bar too low. I needed to focus on my passion, not on the paycheck."

(16) Jill, who lives with her son in Alexandria Minnesota, owned a gift basket company and earned just 15, 000 a year. She noticed when she let potential buyers taste the food items, the baskets sold like crazy. Jill thought, Why not sell the food directly to customers in a fun setting?

(17)With $6, 000 in savings, a bank loan and a friend's investment, Jill started packaging gourmet foods in a backyard shed and selling them at taste-testing parties. It wasn't easy. "I remember sitting outside one day, thinking we were three months behind on our house payment, I had two employees I couldn't pay, and I ought to get a real job. But then I thought, No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to work.

(18)She stuck with it, even after her husband died three years later. "I live by the law of abundance, meaning that even when there are challenges in life, I look for the win-win, she says.

(19)The positive attitude worked: Jill's backyard company, Tastefully Simple, is now a direct-sales business, with 120 million in sales last year. And Jill was named one of the top 25 female business owners in North America by Fast Company magazine.

(20)According to research by Thomas J. Stanley, author of The Millionaire Mind, over 80 percent of millionaires say they never would have been successful if their vocation wasn't something they cared about.
