We’ve spent a lot of time on this site talking about millionaire dairy farmers and secret millionaires like Anne Scheiber. In basic terms, building wealth comes down to spending less than you earn, putting the surplus in good investments that throw off passive income, and doing it for a very long time so the money can compound uninterrupted.
