How to Manage a Million

How A Millionaire Will Manage One Dollar

If you don't know how manage a million dollars, I guarantee that the money will quickly disappear if I wrote you a giant check right now.

Something like 90% of lottery winners go bust within five years, because they didn't have the basic discipline or the formula to handle the money that should have created a financial foundation that would lasted for generations.

Learn how to manage a single dollar so that you can move up to the financial big-leagues on your own.

Give a millionaire a dollar and they will do something predictable: they will display the discipline not to spend it.

That dollar will be deposited into a savings account where it earns interest income. A millionaire does not spend earned income! He only spends the income from his investments.

Another ten-cents will be allocated to a savings account. This is a delayed-spending account for expensive purchases such as vacations, home repairs,or cars.

Millionaires will save money to buy something before they purchase it; they will not use credit and pay interest.

The next ten-cents is allocated to wealth education. The economy is always changing and you are ultimately responsible for directing all of your money. The only way to do this wisely is to add to your investment knowledge.

Get investing ideas by paying for advisors, books, courses, newsletters, magazines,and newspapers.

The three-dimes that were just allocated for different purposes is the wealth formula of millionaires; this is how wealth can be built to last for generations.

It is only after these three buckets get their share of the dollar that part of it is allocated for taxes on that dollar. Notice that a millionaire pays the taxman after the important building blocks get their share.

There is no such thing as "income before taxes". There is a tax liability on ...
