Ella M. Coney
This book is about the process of becoming a millionaire. It is taken from 30 years of the author's personal diary entries. The story starts with her being evicted from the housing projects. She was also facing jail time for welfare fraud. She decided, with two small children in tow, to go into the military instead.
It demonstrates how you can start out with a very little money and through hard work, determination, sacrifice, and good money management, grow it into a vast sum.
The book has sex, action, drama, suspense and leaves you saying to yourself, "I can do this!"
Ella M. Coney was born in Lubbock, Texas but was raised, from her high school years, in Denver, Colorado. She joined the United States Air Force in January l974 and was one of its first female aircraft radar mechanics. She was given an honorable medical discharge in October l980.
She is a closet millionaire that clips coupons and often wears jeans and a T-shirt. To look at her, you would never be able to tell she had any money at all. Looks can be very deceiving.
As a current resident of Denver, Colorado, she is a successful 53-year-old real estate investor. Her son, Markus Gibson, helps her run a small property management company.
My retirement plan before I went into the military was to hit the long shot trifecta race at the dog track and win so much money I would never have to work again. I knew it could be done and I was going to do it. All it took was just the right two-dollar bet. After several years of giving the dog track every cent I had, I decided that my dream was probably not going to happen.
I then decided that I was going to become stinking rich by making rank in the Air Force faster than anyone had ever seen and getting constant pay raises. The kids and I would then have more money that we knew what to do with. Then I realized the plan had a flaw. It depended on me staying healthy and remaining in my right mind. Both of these things were quickly slipping away from me.
A demon had taken over my body and kept me nervous, irritable and anxious. I was at the mercy of this demon. He had his way with me and there was nothing I could do. I had to rid my body and mind or this horrible creature.
