Check this on Sam Walton before assuming he got something for nothing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Walton

More accurately he made something from nothing.

You and anyone else could have made a little something, too, if you'd bought Walmart stock. Lots of people did.

Also, you could be a millionaire by retirement if you adhered to a regular investment program rather than only one investment of $1,000.



Sam Walton is dead, I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about his children, they're in top 20 richest people or something like that. Each one.


And if I didn't have the money to buy that stock?

Also, the Walton kids most assuredly got something for nothing.

But you do.

85% of American millionaires are self-made. See "The Millionaire Next Door" by Stanley.
