Mom became a millionaire. Had a federal job from 1973-1996. Put away $500 each month into an IRA. Spent money on home improvements, landscapers, a maid, and a nice car for herself 3 separate times. Traveled for free with her job. Sold house that they paid 26k for in 1966 for $160k in 2013. Not saying it was easy, but she was very smart with her money.
