How to be a millionaire?
You may be wishing to have a million bucks, or you may be an aspiring young
professional who wants to know if you are on the right path. Whatever the case
may be, here are seven ways people become millionaires. Some are by pure luck
but there’s no need to worry as others are based much less on chance and more
on planning and wits. With some effort, you can have a big fat bank account one
day too.
First and the easiest, Win
the Lottery – Without a doubt, this is the quickest way to become a
millionaire. There are ton of ways to strike it big as well. The
problem? Your chances are one in a billion. Good luck and start rolling the
dice if this is the way you want to pursue wealth.
Be innovative – Most people
believe that the easy inventions are already out in the marketplace but yet,
new gadgets come out every day. Ideas are everywhere, so put on your thinking
caps. If you aren’t the thinking type, you can always…
Learn from Madoff – You
will also be on the front page of every newspaper and be in jail for 150 years
but at least your wife can enjoy a good life with money you stole from other
people.If you take this path by the way, let me know so I can report you.
Corporate Slave – Okay,
this is the first way to be a millionaire while avoiding the headlines. Many
high paid professionals end up with significant wealth built up. Of course,
they get beaten up at work daily as they climb the corporate ladder and then
pay obscene amounts of government taxes afterward, but hey, nothing is going to
stop you from becoming a millionaire right?
Forget millions; I was born
a billionaire – Having rich parents aint’ a crime right? Even if you aren’t
born that way, you might get a second chance by being adopted. Of course, no
money is ever safe if you don’t know how to use it.
Marry Rich – If you go to
any bars or restaurants that are within close proximity to high end
neighborhoods, you will see many very attractive ladies at the bar. There are
some fairy tales alright, but most die trying.
Save your ass off
millionaire – You can keep trying, but this is exactly how most of us will
become a millionaire. It’s not glamorous like winning the nobel prize but no
one will bother you (that’s a good thing when you are wealthy) because no one
will ever know you are rich either.
Since this is actually the
most probable way of becoming a millionaire, I’ve outlined a few steps you can
take.
Generate
Some Income
All the rubbish about a
penny saved equal two pennies earned is true because pondering about that all
day will save you exactly two pennies. If you ever want to save enough money to
make your family proud, start earning some to begin with. This includes:
• Stop watching TV. But
everyone watches TV. Yes, couch potato the third, that’s why so few ever become
millionaires. While you are watching TV, your competition, the more successful
and the people you envy are all making money. Stop watching TV. In fact, cancel
it if you always give in.
• Working smarter and
harder at work – If you have to choose between the two, please err on the side
of being smart. Be friendly and helpful to coworkers, know when you should work
hard and when to say no to distractions.
• Get a side job – If you
are earning less than N40,000 and trying to feed a family of four, you could
probably write a book on money saving advice. Stop reading up on frugal living
and write about it instead. Start your own business and earn more money.
