The Difference in Millionaires

When you picture millionaires at work, visions of private board room meetings spring to mind. However, when you look at the average salary of a football player, these visions should also include dodging human semi-trucks on a grass turf in front of thousands of spectators. Picturing Bill Gates on a football field certainly brings a smile to my face.

Society is seems to focus on making wealth, rather than the various of ways to make wealth. I believe that people should discuss how one should make their wealth. While there is little difference in the end result, illuminating the choices assists in selecting the best path. Just as winning the lottery is sure to make a millionaire, most of us (I hope) do not depend it. The next couple entries will focus on what I've learned.

One Dollar Miracles

My father introduced me to finances and while he wasn't a expert, he had a unique view. One of the things my father taught me was the One Dollar Miracle. To him, it was a literal miracle to get someone to reach into their pocket, pull out a wallet, and give someone else a dollar. This type of transaction isn't as common as we assume. Think of all the people you meet each day, and then count how many you actually give money too. I'll assume that you're not giving money to just everyone.

While my father wasn't successful at making these miracles happen, I'm reminded of it with each dollar I touch. It brings an almost spiritual touch to capitalism, may it help us all in our transactions.

Vacation Post.

I went to Cleveland, Ohio for the weekend and I need to catchup on life. So no updates until Thursday.
