We’re Back!!!


After much ado, we are back with the newly upgraded, bigger, better faster 7m7y.com: home of the 7 Millionaires … In Training! ‘grand experiment’ in millionaire-making 🙂 You may not notice much change, but ‘under the covers’ is a small block supercharged chevy engine in place of the 4 cylinder Corolla engine that we had […]

Liftoff!


Liftoff! Well, as I mentioned before, we actually lifted off before we reached the launch pad …. ooops 🙁 But, in personal finance – thus, this ‘grand experiment’ – we’ll actually be doing a lot of back-tracking even as we move forward at great (I hope!) speed … … in fact, some horses have jumped […]
