I don't see if anyone tried to imply that non millionaires are less successful . Did I miss anything between lines .

I must have misunderstood these lines.

Plus the thread was going in a direction which was making it appear that a million dollar mark is an unattainable / very difficult to attain WISH .... I opined how important is a million dollars in context of life & happiness.

In India , you can be a millionaire ( in rupees) in one year's time :-), but the question is can a person having no matter how good the job , can earn, invest and be net worth 6 Crores (1 million dollars as of today) in 10 years, starting with 10 lacs INR like Op did ?

Only one way as I see, if he would have bought multiple properties in Gurgaon or Blore 7-8 years ago or done some lucrative business , but that is not the case here. Not sure a couple with regular job with 2 kids in india will have that kind of net worth. Its being in Canada and being on good jobs that made it possible. Not to forget these are 10 years well spent in developed country.

Congrats Gollu, for bringing the positivity to this issue ridden quarrel prone forum ;-).

Chandreshji, over the years have observed that an individual who is nobody in one place,country, profession, age is very successful in some other place,city etc. But all movies don't become box office hit. Life is similar.

Quite frankly Chandreshji, NO.
Being uprooted from my familiar environment, I put in extra efforts to become financially secure, which I most probably wouldn’t have if I was in familiar surroundings, because it’s a human tendency to take things for granted and lead a laid back life when you are amongst your own…..you know what I mean!!
Besides, moving to Canada was a win-win situation for me, because not only did it gave me ample opportunity, it also provided a life style which even a multi-millionaire wouldn’t have in India (read clean roads, less corruption, way less pollution, etc.)

Congrats Gollu, and keep it going. It is good to hear motivating experiences once in a while. If you dont mind, do spend some time on CD (when time permits) and give tips to others on how to make it. I am sure some of the CD's are curious to know the steps that worked for you.
