Brief History of the Internet...
The Internet started in 1969 and was primary use by military intelligence and the academic community to communicate with each other. The original uses of the Internet were for military installations, universities, and business firms with department of defense contracts. It's initial goal was to maintain a safe transition while transferring information between individuals. The Internet has grown to be one of the single largest entities in the business world. The need to communicate and trancfer/store data became easier and cheaper through the Internet.What started as an communication tool, has taken over the face of computing, generating an un-matched avenue for conducting business. The current Internet useage far exceeds earlier expectations and predictions.

How 2 Get Rich

Creativity is the most rewarding way to get rich. Other than that I don't believe there is a sure fire way to get rich. Its all about taking chances when it comes to getting rich by means of business. Other than that, I figured out ways to get rich over time.

1. Get a well paying job (preferably one that pays $100,000 or more)
2. Get good tax advice ( Get a good accountant who understands how to legally minimize your tax bill)
3. Save at least 20% of everything you earn (rule of thumb: expenses rise to meet income)
a. arrange to have 20% of your income removed into a savings account
b. keep your savings account separate from your spending account (you will budget your living expenses around the money that you have easily accessible)
4. Conservatively invest the funds that build up in your savings account
ex: mutual funds accounts, property funds, and a money market fund
5. Reinvest any income you get from your assets straight back into buying more assets
6. Never touch these funds
7. Wait ten years and you should be in the top 20% of wealth holders
