Spend money on information, spend money on outsourcing, spend money on education and knowledge. Sure, you will eventually need to spend less than you earn to make a million. The most important thing is to maximize earnings. I think, more important than saving, is spending- on the right things.

I know that we've been lucky, but its not impossible.

According to Quicken, about one million, four thousand; if you add in the value of the house (paid off the mortgage years ago), add another 175 or 200 thousand. We did it by controlling the impulse to buy, and by maxing (or close to it) our savings and 401K. Are we frugal? No, not really. Are we careful with what we spend? Oh, yeah.
