Dr. Barbara O'Neill will present this 90-minute webinar on behalf of the Military Families Learning Network. 1.5 CEUs will be available to AFC-credentialed participants. Americans have always been fascinated by millionaires and their ranks have actually been increasing in recent years despite the financial crisis. The “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” game show and “MegaMillions” lotteries draw big crowds.  Most people become wealthy the “old fashioned way,” however, through hard work and regular saving/investing. Webinar participants will learn about the following topics:

• Twenty research-based  factors that are associated with wealth accumulation
• The awesome power of compound interest over time
• The impact of lifestyle choices (e.g., health habits) upon personal finances
• Research-based characteristics of millionaires
• Resources for educators and consumers (e.g., online financial calculators)
