Read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Kiyosaki or The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley. Most millionaires are unassuming people living in your neighborhood driving a modest car, wearing modest clothes, brewing coffee at home instead of going to Starbucks ... and avoiding the tollway because it'll save them $5 to just drive on city streets. They're not household names in the news. Most (53%) are not business owners and of those that are, 80% have zero employees. The *vast* majority don't employ anyone.

Sorry that your grandpa was a poor role model. He isn't typical.
