MINIMUM WAGE MILLIONAIRE - HOW $3 INVESTMENTS EVERY MONTH TURNED into $8M+ (True Story)

Everyday millionaires might not seem that common, or ones that start from minimum wage and humble beginnings - but today I want to share with you the inspiring story of Sylvia Bloom who at the age of 96 years old gathered over $8 million through investing over 67 years of working. She copied the financial habits she saw around her in the small amounts she could afford, and this meant in 2016 she donated to many 10,000 of students educational future as part of her legacy.

I hope you enjoy this inspiring story and what we can learn from it too.
