Secret Millionaire Strategy Exposed
People would usually ask themselves "I'm still not making enough
money from this job and I have to look or aim for a higher
position in my company or with another company that can give me
a higher salary". This thought that the higher the salaries are,
the closer it is to becoming millionaires. But sometimes,
earning a higher salary doesn't always result in making us
millionaires. So what does it take to make a person earn his
first million? Does it really lie on how much our paychecks say?
Does it really lie on the number of credentials we have in our
resume?
If we'll observe famous millionaires, you would notice that it's
not always based on paychecks, careers, or even the higher
studies that they took that put them at the millionaires' club.
While having these personal credentials as a given can provide
you an advantage or an edge in the millionaire game, there will
always be the bottleneck that will separate a person of wealth
from a person still finding his way to wealth. At the end of
day, a person will learn to find out that it's not in the genes,
the school where he attended college or even the company he has
worked with for the past 10 years. So what's the secret after
all?
The secret to making millions lies not in what credentials the
person has right now but on how he uses his credentials in
inflating his bank account. How to get there will depend on his
spending habits, savings and investing strategies.
On spending habits, people usually think that the higher they
earn, the higher their standard of living should be. As one may
pass by a famous luxury brand watch store, one may have this
thought "I just got promoted last week and I think I should
reward myself with this watch that was previously beyond my
wallet's reach". It maybe best to think twice first before
buying that watch. One may find that he actually has 3 watches
right now with the latest one bought just 6 months ago so what's
the sudden rush of buying that watch in that store that's worth
twice the current retail value of all his 3 watches combined?
Maybe it can wait for 1 more year. In spending habits, holding
on to the wallet and checking if it's really necessary to buy
another one is something that should be part of the checklist of
things to think about before buying. Long-term millionaires know
when is the right time to pull a dollar out of their wallet.
On savings habit, one may ask "Are my savings working as hard as
I am?". It maybe best to think twice if you've kept your savings
in the right places at the right time. Knowing which savings
vehicle can give the best rate of return at the least risk is a
key item. Long-term millionaires usually know how it is to save
and how much of their personal income they should save. This
should go along well with the spending habits. Technically, as a
person increases their capacity to generate more income by
getting promoted or landing at a better job with a higher pay,
spending habits should at least be regulated and savings to be
placed for investments should benefit the most.
On investing strategies, now that one has saved up enough money
from all the years that he's worked so hard for, its now time
for him to put them in investment vehicles that will both
protect his hard earned money and at the same time provide the
highest rate of return possible. In choosing which investments
he could place his savings, the keyword to keep in mind is
diversification. Diversification is having a variety of
investment instruments with different yields with a healthy
percentage mix that will accommodate his hard earned savings.
The places where to invest should have different rates of return
and diverting how much of the savings will go in that investment
should be studied carefully by considering both risk and rate of
return of that investment. The higher the rate of possible
return usually packages itself with a higher risk. Long-term
millionaires usually know how much of their funds they should
put in real estate, publicly listed stocks or mutual funds and
other assets that are available in the market today that can
accommodate their funds.
There are a lot of factors to consider in building wealth. Just
like the today's millionaires, there are different challenges
they faced to get to where they are right now. No wealth
building strategy is perfect. There may be incorrect decisions
but with careful planning, there will also be successful ones.
The secret lies on finding a good healthy mix of spending
habits, savings and investment strategies. People who've been
there know that the x-factor in getting there doesn't lie on how
much money they had before they started building their wealth.
They know it didn't depend solely on their college degrees also.
These 3 significant factors along with whatever credentials a
person has gained from his accumulated experiences in his career
will surely help however in finding him his way to wealth
building success.
