The Armchair Millionaire

With more Americans than ever before taking responsibility for their own financial futures, it's no surprise that ever-larger numbers of investors -- both novice and experienced -- have reacted to all the dizzying headlines with a call for more information and less noise. At the Armchair Millionaire web site, real people come together every day to share their own stories of investing success, centered around a time-tested long term wealth building strategy called "The Five Steps to Financial Freedom." THE ARMCHAIR MILLIONAIRE explains both the mechanics and the motivations that produce true financial independence among ordinary people taking the first steps in their lifelong wealth-building efforts.

Lewis Schiff created Armchair-Millionaire.com by drawing on the years of personal-finance advice he had been giving to his friends and family. He is also a co-founder of Investorama.com, one of the leading Web sites for financial learning. In 1995, when the Internet was in its infancy, Schiff worked for Worth magazine, and launched Worth Online.
