'So easy'? Well, you don't want to hear this, but HN is not a reflection of reality. Most millionaires get to their first million over 55 years of age. Not the 25 y/o millionaires/billionaires you see passing the homepage here. The Citizen Kane quote was done in the context of someone who spends all his money rather than saves it. That's the clue here; if you live frugal and save all you can of your wage, you'll be a millionaire around 60 without effort. Remember; all you want to do is make a lot of money so you don't want to spend money on fun stuff, kids, family, vacations etc. In the area from the Netherlands I came from (and this goes for other parts on earth too i'm sure) all old farmers are millionaires. They NEVER spent $0.01 they didn't absolutely had to spend.
So, again (and this is the reason why most people are not automatic millionaires after a certain age) IF getting a lot of money is ALL you want to do, you will sacrifice things; you will move to a cheap place, you will eat and live cheap. So yes, it's easy, but maybe not what you wanted to hear.
I don't want to wait that long so I have the next easiest thing; software services. Works great, no competition. It's much harder than the above, but it's also much quicker.
