If you had a time machine you wouldn't need $1 million, you could just invest or gamble and make billions But yeah, I should be one already, I wouldn't feel too cheated if I'm one before 20 though.
How about if we refrase.... I'm in my mid 30's now... and 3/4 of the way there. A few words of advise, especially to you younger guys.... Buy a house/condo/whatever ASAP! Don't rent. My largest jumps in net worth came from homes I lived in, then sold for bigger ones. I'm not a real estate guy I'm just saying my livelyhood bought and paid for the homes I've lived in. Then when it was time to move, instead of packing up and having nothing for all those monthly payments (like a renter would have) I got all my money back and alot more... Not to mention the tax benifits.... Just my 2 cents... lol Alex
Millionaire by 30, no. I'm 30 now. Aiming for 35. Made colossal mistakes along the way, with no proper business training, just trial and error. Also is that "millionaire" question in £ or $?
Don't knock it, that worked for Thomas Edison! I believe that most "business training" is done by academics with little or no real-world experience. This makes them of little value or possibly even negative value. As Will Rogers said "It's not what you don't know that hurts you. It's what you do know that ain't so." With trial and error, you have a much better chance of generating the right answers.
I think I spent a million dollars to my Social Security account which won't be there by the time I need it
The only ones that would benefit if I made millions on the net right now, are the grandkids! And possibly the wife...maybe the kids. For sure our dog would be set up for life!
I 2nd that one... What are the chances any of us under 40 will be seeing anything from Social Security unless something major changes real soon??? Alex
£1,000,000 = $1,750,000 We got it harder Although the $ is pretty much the universal internet currency these days. Show an American a € or a £ and most won't know what it is, show a European a $, £ or € and they'll understand them all.
I've 10 years to go.. I'll try my best to make it *fingers crossed* Hmm I was thinking... I can be a millionare in my country but a poor girl in USA Rs.28 = $ 1 ... unless I win a lottery I'll become a millionaire before 30.
Took me to 32 to make that much damn missed it by 2 years. Peniless again now though (45) . Money is not all it is cracked up to be. Currently, every day, more comes in than I need to pay the bills, regardless of any new work, so I guess the word is, 'comfortable'. All my ambition has gone though, I no longer stay awake working until dawn because I need to 'make it'. Now I do it for the fun of it. Mucjh more satisfying, andf the money helps as well LOL.
Im 33, and never had a million yet, and not holding my breath for it either or I would probably wake up in the local casuality department ! Money isnt everything, maybe you dont have money but im sure you are all loved by at least one person. ps: your mother doesnt count she HAS to love you ! sally
I have the love of my wife, and the love of my 6 yr old daughter, more money than month (it used to be the other way around for a while). so I am very happy.
Actually, you are all probably millionaires already! If you make $50,000 a year, every 20 years to run through a million bucks. If you make 10 grand, every decade you have run through a million dollars. At the salary level, you will earn over $4 million during your lifetime. As you can see, a million is nothing in North America or Europe. A $100 million is something. Billionaires are more common than millionaires were when I was a kid. That is the new metric.
if you live in indonesia, it will take you USD 1052.64 to be one. Exchange rate is 1 USD to 9500 rupiah. i have six more year to go, but i am going to make it before my next birthday(day dreaming...)
