| Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? |
I do! Do you? You should, you know.. You could be one of those millionaires who the world does not know about, so you can still run around in your tattered shorts and rat-torn shirts and the who world would not pay attention to you as you do your own thing.
Well, okay, I really don't know about you, but thanks to my mom, I found "7 rules self-made millionaires live by" through Money Smarts. The lot goes something like this:
- Treat money as something to save and invest. Translation: the minute you get your hands on some grub, think of ways on how you can put it away as savings.
- Assume risks when you invest. Translation: no duh? If you don't go for the big ones, then you'll get your fair share of your little ones. Capisce?
- A Simple Life. Translation: Do not spend water like money. If you have to live big, live big, but live simply. Ex. Millionaires live in stone mansions passed on for generations. They do not build houses after houses after houses (unless if they plan to branch into real estate).
- A Goal is a Must. Translation: Make a specific goal, have timelines, have something to motivate you. If not, then you're just going round and round... soon enough you'll be creating crop circles.
- Good debt vs Bad debt. Translation: As what my mom said, if you have to be in debt, it should be because it is for an investment.
- Share the Love. Translation: Simple, really. Share your blessings. It is true, what they said about the more you give, the more you get back. Of course you should not count the things you've given out. Now that would be BAAADDD!
- Train your Spawn to Handle Moolah. Translation: Set an example to your kids, teach them the value of money and how to take care of it. Not only are you setting them up for life, but you are also helping them to help you in the long run. Or something like that..
Good words. Wise words to live by. I revert back to an old post I had at the start of my blog: "May your money work for you." Let's try to be at least a bit rich, because as they say, "the rich get richer," while the rest of us go the other way.
Now tell me, do you want to be a millionaire?
Cheers!

Name: Ann
Home: Philippines
About Me: even when she has fairy wings on, this girl is anything BUT dainty. perhaps the size, the weight, and the personality alone are just too much for her to be considered delicate, prim, proper, and refined. this girl with the mud smudged cheeks has been down on the ground one to many times. these times forced her to be tougher, smarter, and more savvy than she has ever been. perhaps she will always be, never dainty.
