Julee Lanham: Read the book, The Millionaire Next Door. Also, The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. The Millionaire Next Door contains very suprising info about millionaires-how they got there and how they live. The Total Money Makeover is a no nonsense book about the pitfalls of credit and debt.

Get the basics down first from someone who's been there and back and there again....Show more
