Good article! I follow your website on and off. I am not big fan of basket ball but I can relate your cinderalla thing in other areas. There is surely nothing like Financial cinderallas.

If you take the 2010 forbes world billionaires, most of them are self made billionaires except few. Their is a saying, “YOu can get rich in two ways, either by birth or by marriage”. These are easy ways to get rich but whther they can be rich depends on their ability to work hard to keep the money. Thats the tough part.

Your hardcore 5 tips are great, it helps to grow your money you earn and takes long time but to become a millionaire before your life time ends. You can invest on your ideas like others who made it and never quit on them. Thats the key part.

Cinderella to me is doing what no one thought was possible. The ultimate upset or the ultimate financial gain or doing all the necessary things to be success when no one else though you would succeed.

all the practice in the world just might be what you need to be successful on the basketball court.

and when off the court practice smart financial habits day in and day out and before you know it you will have a nice savings account and people might call you a Cinderella.

@Meg: Ha! You got me! Actually, I do watch the occasional game. It’s the only other thing I watch on television other than the news.

Great posts! You made some wonderful points, I should take some of my TV time and use it towards something more useful, though you can learn things on TV as well depending on the shows you are watching.

Meg – funny observation!

Does anyone else find it odd that a post telling us to turn off the TV also assumes that readers are following college basketball? Just a random observation.

Building on the comment about TV: Don’t forget that time is money. Be frugal with your time as with your money. Time could be spent to learn something new, start a side business, etc.

And relatedly, one secret to living on a small income is that it takes time to spend money

Good points….it’s a person’s habits that make them a money cinderella. If you’re doing the opposite of the crowd (save vs spend) you’re probably on the right track. Good job.
