History

Created in 1969, the interenet was designed for the purpose of maintaining a safe transition of data between military computers. Up until 1991, the Government had a strong control over the use of the Internet. Finally in 1995, the US government allowed the Internet for use by the public. ISPs (Internet Service Providers) were used to offer to link consumers and businesses to the Internet and other services such as web, e-mail, chat, newsgroup, FTP, and telnet.

How to Get Rich?

Most people can only dream about getting rich but what if I told you there are actual steps that you can follow to put yourself in this position. I am not talking about winning the lottery, being born into money or being famous. I am talking about being smart with the money that you make to make this dream a reality. You can start by first getting a well paying job. Almost anyone can get a job making $100,000 a year, if they are willing to put the work in. You will also need a good accountant who understands how to legally minimize your tax bill. Now that we have covered the first two steps in this process. We need to figure out what to do with the money that is made with this well paying job. You can start by saving at least 20% of what you make. Depending upon your situation saving more would be recommended. Then after you build up these funds in your savings account, it is suggested that you conservatively invest the funds that you have built up in your savings account. Then any income that is made from your assets, you want reinvest this into buying more assets. Never touch any of this money, and try to act like it does not exist. After waiting 10 years, you will be rich.
