How to Become a Millionaire

I saw this on the MS Money website today. It is nine stories on how various people from varoius backgrounds became millionaires:

• Firefighter sees a need and fills it


• Singer gets 'run over by a reindeer'


• Couple rides the real-estate wave


• Student athlete takes a sporting risk


• Struggling actor waits 14 years for a hit


• Bookkeeper helps build the ground floor at Lowe's


• Pair invests through bull and bear markets


• Couple wins an 'Amazing Race'


• Would-be 'Pampered Chef' finds an idea to love

Pretty interesting mix of stories here. Of course for those who don't have a million-dollar idea, there's always another way to become a millionaire:

• 1. Spend less than you earn.


• 2. Invest the difference in a stock index fund>


• 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you become a millionaire.

How's that for simple?
