How to Become a Millionaire by Age 30 A) Getting rich and becoming a millionaire is a taboo(忌讳的) topic. Saying it can be done by the age of 30 seems like a fantasy. It shouldn't be taboo and it is possible. At the age of 21, I got out of college, broke and in debt(负债), and by the time I was 30, I was a millionaire. Here are the 10 steps that will guarantee you will become a millionaire by 30. B) In today's economic environment you cannot save your way to millionaire status. The first step is to focus on increasing your income in increments(加薪值) and repeating that. My income was $3,000 a month and nine years later it was $20,000 a month. Start following the money and it will force you to control revenue(收入) and see opportunities. C) I didn't buy my first luxury watch or car until my businesses and investments were producing multiple secure flows of income. I was still driving a Toyota Camry when I had become a millionaire. Be known for your work ethic(职业道德), not the trinkets(饰品) that you buy. D) The only reason to save money is to invest it.Put your saved money into secured, sacred (untouchable) accounts. Never use these accounts for anything, not even an emergency. This will force you to continue to follow step one (increase income). To this day, at least twice a year, I am broke because I always invest my surpluses(盈余) into ventures I cannot access. E) Make it a rule that you never use debt that won't make you money. I borrowed money for a car only because I knew it could increase my income. Rich people use debt to leverage investments and grow cash flows. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer. F) Millions wish for financial freedom, but only those that make it a priority have millions. To get rich and stay rich you will have to make it a priority. Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority. G) Money doesn't know about clocks, schedules or holidays, and you shouldn't either. Money loves people that have a great work ethic. When I was 26 years old, I was in retail and the store I worked at closed at 7 p.m. Most times you could find me there at 11 p.m. making an extra sale. Never try to be the smartest or luckiest person ---just make sure you outwork everyone. H) I have been poor, and it sucks. I have had just enough and that sucks almost as bad. Eliminate any and all ideas that being poor is somehow OK. Bill Gates has said, "If you're born poor, it's not your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your mistake." ______11. Follow the money. ______12. Money doesn't sleep. ______13. Don't show off---show up! ______14. Being poor makes no sense. ______15. Blame yourself for being poor. ______16. Avoid debt that doesn't pay you. ______17. Treat money like a jealous lover. ______18. Save to invest; don't save to save. ______19. It is not a fantasy to become a millionaire by age 30. ______20. Follow the ten steps and you will grow to be a millionaire by age 30.
