About this site
onemilliondollars.org exists because the honest answer to "how do I get a million dollars" is boring, well-documented, and almost impossible to find under the noise of people selling shortcuts.
What this site is
A reference manual for one specific goal: building a $1,000,000 net worth on an ordinary income. Every page serves that goal directly — the master plan, the mechanics of compounding, the account-by-account setup, the data on who actually gets there, and calculators to date-stamp your own trip.
What it will never be
There are no courses, no coaching calls, no "exclusive community," and no crypto thesis here. We don't publish get-rich-quick content because it doesn't work, and we don't disguise product promotions as advice. Where the honest answer is "this takes twenty years," the page says twenty years.
How the content is made
Every figure is computed from stated assumptions or drawn from named public sources — Federal Reserve surveys, major wealth reports, published academic work — and each data page names its edition and year. Math is shown, not asserted. Corrections are welcome and acted on; the standards are spelled out in the editorial policy.
The obligatory, genuinely important disclaimer
This site publishes educational information, not financial, tax, or legal advice. Nothing here accounts for your personal situation. Markets involve risk, including loss of principal, and historical averages guarantee nothing about any particular decade — especially yours. For decisions with real stakes, talk to a qualified, fee-only professional.
Questions, corrections, ideas
The fastest route is the contact page. If a number looks wrong, tell us — being correct matters more here than being first. New here? Start with the first $100k or check a term in the glossary.
