52 year old son of coal miners and lumber men, raised poor. Decided 20 years ago (summer 1987) to not stay that way and set arbitrary goal of $1,000,000 liquid. Hit $1,000,000+ net worth last year, and $1,000,000 plus invested financial assets 6/12/07. I lived below my means: bought less house; drove vehicles until fixing was more expensive than purchasing (300K-500K miles); and made saving and investing a priority (as if my life depended on it, because in some ways it did)!
As a former college business professor I can tell you that "they" don't teach you how to handle your personal finances in B-school. Truth be known, they don't really teach much of practical use in B-school. I still am not sure even of what questions to ask, and I made, and still make mistakes, but I learn fast, and believe one of the best ways to grow is to access others experiences. Looking to learn mostly, contribute occasionally if able, encourage and be encouraged.
