Em. I have always thought that having 1 mln. $ and more is about earning more - not about spending less.
By the way, it doesn't mean you have to "work hard" - it's much better to work smart.
By working hard, I meant more that you may need to spend more time working towards earnings rather than spend time on leisure pursuits. That could mean watching reading a technical book while another person watches a movie.
The thing about earning more though, is that it also depends more on circumstances not directly in your control. In general, a person has far more control over how much they spend versus how much they earn.
