  1. I think that you would have to be working pretty hard right now if you were going to save $2,000 and still buy somethings that you need. Its hard to save money now.

  2. I thought that the thing about the native americans and how they sold Manhattan for low price but now they money they got would be 75 billion

  3. The fact that the money grew from 2000 to over a million really blew my mind!!!!

  4. I thought it was interesting that most wealthy people aren't noticeably wealthy. They are just "average Joes". They are the ones who worked hard and saved their money. They don't just spend their money, they save it wisely.

  5. I agree with Jacob. Most families would have a hard time saving that much money with everything that people need.

  6. I thought it was interesting how Will Rogers said that if you want to be rich, put all your money in stocks. Then when they go up, sell them; if they don't go up-don't buy them.

  7. Today there are 5 million U.S. households with a million dollar net worth, which is less than 5% of all households. That number is expected to quadruple in 10 years to 20 million households.

  9. I agree with jacob it would be hard for us to save $2,000 right now. I agree with the comment made on page 13 that there's no substitute in life for hard work.

  10. I agree with Nate. I thought that was interesting that the Native Americans sold Manhattan for $24, but if they invested it they could've had $75 billion.

  11. What Keisha said is pretty interesting. It is big news when a house around here sells for a million but I guess it will stop being news soon.

  14. If you save up money you can end up getting a lot more that you put in, if you don't spend and keep it in there for a long time.

  16. Chapter 1: A 15 year old could be millionaire at the age of 55 by saving $2,000 per year for 10 years

    Chapter 2: Don't judge a book my its cover. Most of the wealthy people are average Joes. They do not flaunt their money they use it to enhance their lives.

  17. I agree with Jill not all people need to flaunt their money to be wealthy or rich.

  18. I thought it was surprising how much that 2,000 dollars grew and how in todays world you probably wouldn't be able to do that because of all the prices of every thing rising like gas

  19. If you put all your money into stocks it could be a total waste. I don't agree with this statement at all.
