This is a story of an ordinary employee with an ambition to retire comfortably with $1 million. At first, it seems impossible as Ludy Baldoza Cabanas and her husband had accumulated an enormous amount of debt as a result of traveling, living beyond their means, and making bad choices. In this book, she shares how they changed course and plotted a new path. Learn how to:

build wealth in an individual retirement account or through a 401(k) plan;

invest in real estate in solid neighborhoods;

pursue passive income strategies to live comfortably. The author also shares her experience as a network marketer, and how her time in the insurance industry helped her build relationships with others. In her networking experience, she applied in her dealings what she learned from the books she read such as Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, Thomas J. Stanley's The Millionaire Mind and The Millionaire Next Door, and Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.
