When you think of "millionaire", what image comes to mind？ For many ofus, it's a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars andlives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud. But many modem millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, workfuU-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivates themisn'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 almostany decision you want," says T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the MillionaireMind. Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job youdon't like. According to the Spectrem 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 need a net worth of atleast $1.3 billion. If more people are getting richer than ever, whyshouldn't you be one of them？ Here, five people whohave at least a million dollars in liquid assets share thesecrets that helped them get there.

He wasa college dropout who struggled to support his wife, DeAnn, and three kids,working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metalalongside convicts. "At times we were so broke that we washed our clothes inthe bathtub because we couldn't afford the Laundromat." Now he's a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina. There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knewhe'd be rich. The reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $5million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff. "Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step." says Eker, "The biggestobstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small,you'll only achieve small things." ……
