Do you want to be millionaire?

[Torsten]

Hi,

According to various sources there are about 10 million millionaires in the US. How many millionaires are there in your country and are you one of them? If not, would you like to become one? What do you think does it take to become a millionaire?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi friends, this is for millionaire topic, but, if you are good with English, I think, you are the next millionaire.... because is important to speak the country languages when you live.

I'm not a millionaire. According to the book The Millionaire Next Door, which was written by two demographers who studied millionaires, most American millionaires accumulate their wealth by working very hard at a boring business that they own, and by saving their money instead of spending it on luxuries or too much fun. They live in ordinary houses, wear ordinary clothes and ordinary watches, and they get their shoes repaired instead of buying new ones. They don't care about luxury, but only about being financially independent. The book is very interesting, and it disproves a lot of false beliefs that people have about how to become millionaires.

By the way, most millionaires say that you can't get rich by cheating people, and they say you should always be honest. Most of them say their religious faith played a role in their becoming rich -- not because they prayed and God gave them money, but instead because they understand that the basic value and dignity of all human beings is separate from their wealth. This understanding allowed them to take the economic risks necessary to gain wealth. They knew that even if they took a big risk and lost everything, they would still have their life, humanity and dignity.
