{ "item_title" : "Goal", "item_author" : [" Scott Schell "], "item_description" : "I always get frustrated when people say they can't get ahead or they will never be able to do something. I say to those people- get focused and you need to set some big life driving goals. From an early age, I set some major goals. In life, we all have struggles. The bigger the struggle the more reason/drive you have to achieve your goal. I had 6 brain surgeries before becoming a millionaire and three after. My goal back then was just to stay alive. After my wife and I were married, we set the goal of having children. I didn't even realize this was my biggest goal in life. We just paid 10,000 dollars to do internationalization and they said we had twins. Sally and I went out and bought a crib. We were so excited. As we were putting it together, the doctors called and told us the hormone levels dropped- we lost the babies. That was one of the saddest days of my life. Sally walked out of the room and I stayed and finished putting the crib. We shut the door to the nursery for a month. You can't buy happiness, but it can solve many problems. That's the day I learned having money can help you achieve your big goals in life. $26,0000 later ($26,000 was the total we spent in 2 years), we had my daughter. We were on 2 teacher salaries just taking home around 48,000 (before taxes) a year with a mortgage payment of $1800 a month or 21,600 a year. We had to budget to meet our goals. By having big goals in life, we were able to find many ways to save money and cut things out of the budget to save money. I always sweat the small bills and not worry about the big bills (we still pay all bills, but I try to eliminate all small bills/goals so we can set the money aside for bigger goals). You can nickel and dime yourself from being a millionaire. Goals keep you focused and not stray in a million different directions. So, I'll share 101 actions my wife and I did to reach our goal of being millionaires so you can become millionaires, too ", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/867/669/9798676694289_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "9.99", "online_price" : "9.99", "our_price" : "9.99", "club_price" : "9.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
