How to Become a Millionaire
So, why aren't many people in those countries wealthy?
Why don't we all retire and live terrific lifestyles? The main reason is;
- We are not taught about about money and what to actually do with money when we get it.
- We spend more than we earn since we get our millions in partial payments. But, wouldn't it be cool if you got it all in one lump sum? The problem is that we get it incrementally, or in periodic installments. Maybe you get yours weekly, or bi-weekly, bi-monthly?

- As shocking as this might sound, in order to remain wealthy, you have to learn to keep your hard-earn money or at least most of it.
- A millionaire who spends his million is just someone who busts his hump every day. It does not involve picking a penny stock, and hoping someday you will be the next Warren Buffet. It does not require you to win the Lotto.
- In fact you have already won the lottery. Just that your lottery now pay the winnings to you in installments. Dont be the man who won a Lottery but died Poor.
