1. When you had nothing, did it ever seem possible to you to one day have 7 or eight figures?

when I had nothing, I never, for a second, thought i would be worth 1 mil or more or earn 200k /yr

2. How does it feel psychologically and emotionally to have 7 or eight figures?

I still psychologically and emotionally feel poor. Today I shopped at goodwill for new shirts for tot and onsies for baby. Granted, I was dropping stuff off but I offer as example.

3. How long did it take?

hum...I saved my first two checks that i earned at 16 (fast food). When I got raises, I always
saved the excess. i invested in real estate  in 2001, cashed out in 2005 so at that point I was "worth" over 100K. money makes money. i hit 1 mil a couple of years ago and I am 40.

4. Any tips on how to achieve such a feat?
work, save, do not be materialistic.  oh, invest in education. I have a doctorate and am a lobbyist.
I totally agree with pps who said marry well/someone who shares your finacial values. my husband did not come from poverty but he's New England cheep.  it works for us.
