I agree with everything you said. The thing that keeps me motivated in my quest to become a millionaire is the financial freedom. People often look down on my dream and tell me things like 'money isn't everything'...and I know that they're completely missing the point. They think that I'm too materialistic, they think that I like money a lot, but they are wrong. I don't like money, I HATE money. That's why I want lots of it so that I won't have to worry about it. I'll spend every moment enjoying and celebrating life. I won't have to worry about mundane things like paying the bills and struggling to make ends meet. I want to enjoy myself, I want to help people, I want my life to mean something, I want to leave this world knowing that I made it better. These are all the motivations I need. If you share this dream, don't give up. The rewards are beyond any of your wildest dreams. Never crave a mediocre life, there is nothing worse than being ordinary. Great article.

Acting on your dream keeps you on it. Sharing every moment with your love ones boost you to stardom. Without that it makes the whole journey long and tiring. Enthusiasm and passion should not die like that. It is taboo to let dream die. Keep it alive. Life it and take the necessary action. If you interested! Join me in the journey to be the next millionaire! Cheers! The journey starts with a dream.

I would submit, though, that the number "one million" needs to be updated in our minds...we need to change our paradigm away from this being the holy grail. The truth is that we've thought of the word "millionaire" as being the ultimate in financial success for eons now. To be a millionaire, in most of our minds, is to be financially free. I take serious issue with that. One million dollars is far from what it used to be. One million dollars was a good goal in the 20's when we started to think this way, but damn...a million bucks these days is setting the bar pretty low. Just sayin. <abbr><em>Christian’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.myonehundredthings.com/2008/12/government-cut-jobs-continue-broke/" rel="nofollow">Should the Government Cut Jobs or Continue Going More and More Broke?</a></abbr></em> I agree with you on many things here, especially that the road to wealth is transformative…it’s way more than the process of accumulating money.
