I couldn't recommend this book enough!! Anyone could become a millionaire investing over time. The key is to start early. Grab a copy of this book yall.

In summary:

When you invest in a stock market index fund (ETF fund that is made up of many stocks) , you set it and forget it. Make monthly contributions or even a lump sum.

Specifically look into Vanguard VTSAX and the easy etf VTI you can buy through Fidelity or whichever Brokerage of choice.

It doesn't get any easier then this guys and I am so excited about it I had to share.
