[omni550]

Whenever I find a stray coin or bill on the street, while I'm picking it up and putting it in my wallet, I say with a smile, "... going towards my next million."

There was a thread today about getting to the '2 Comma Club' ($1M NW), and a reply that most people do it through owning a business or real estate. I thought it would make an interesting poll. If you have a NW over $1 million, what was the largest contributor to getting there among the choices?

Real Estate

we also lived way below our means
my last day in hell (w$%$) we were banking 3 of our 4 monthly pay checks

All of you are awesome. I sold my small business which enabled me to cross the $1M net worth line. Very impressed to see so many astute savers here.

Failed rock star, working on my 2nd million!

(I gave up on the first million, it was too hard.)
