Sitting with people and hearing their stories, reading many books on wealth creation, it seems creating wealth is simple.  Many high net worth people have average incomes, and a great lifestyle.  The story seems to always be the same, saved money while quickly paying down their mortgage and avoid other debt.  It never seems to take very long for things to really start to grow for them.

It always amazes me how common this story is how simple it is and yet how hard it is for many to get there.  I guess it is no surprise with all the marketing to buy, the need to keep up and maintain an image, and the general desire for stuff.  The most ironic part is that for those who wait to get what they want, life has more for them and it is much easier to get what we want.
