    Ever wonder ...

    What some of the "casual" millionaires did to get where they are?

    Also - when I was in Salt Lake, I saw probably over 100 kids, probably less than 25, cruising in Turbo 911's, huge jacked up Dodge pickups, Ferraris...

    What's your vote?

    Parents bought the stuff?
    They're in debt like crazy or have a lease?

    Earned it? What do you think they did to get there?

    I am not sure but from my experience there are lots millionaires who do give their children huge amount of pocket money. And it's no big deal to present a 911 or a Ferrari to their kids on birthdays. I personally saw a guy getting two Ford SUVs for his 19 year old twins who just started college.

    But, surely there are some youngsters who have worked hard, some of them even started while begining their teenage. They do earn money and buy things they are passionate about.

    Overall, we actually cannot question how they got it. It could be any reason.

    My parents had money but they rarely gave me a dime!

    But it taught me a valuable lesson about working for your own money. If I had the security of theres I wouldent have accoplished and feel proud of what I have done in life so far.

    Sure it would have been nice to have it now...but there is always inheritence later in life if they dont spend it on vacations.

    Also, a bunch of people buy stuff in write-offs. I'd bet more than most, they became tax write-offs for personal business and the like. You'd be shocked at once they get a sum of money, how much better they get with taxes.
