The first step to being rich is to become affluent. That means you have $100,000 in savings. This puts you in a relaxed position of having a good year's salary put away, which gives you flexibility. The first step to having $100,000 in savings is being able to earn $100,000 as fast as possible.
My income has been increasing with multiple work contracts.
In the past 5 weeks I took home $50,000, which is the fastest I ever earned $50,000. This income combined with the fact I saved it all actually made me affluent for the first time. I had invested most of my money into the business until now.
I achieved affluence by first developing a skill that pays $80-$90 an hour Corp to Corp, and then by getting three full time contracts at once (C++, C#, OpenGL is my niche). But to be honest, I'm thinking two contracts is the most I should work over the long term. Three is too much.
