Its being made even easier now. Here's my 4 step program:1: Buy a one ounce gold coin.2: Wait for the politicians to screw us all over and crash the dollar with their insistence on perpetual military engagement with deficit financing.3: Find a homeless millionaire4: Offer to exchange your gold coin for those one million worthless paper dollars.
actually on second thoughts, do let me explain more...9% on equities - please read any half decent academic journal (or even better, pull out long term returns on S&P500 or MSCI World .. you will see that around 9% is a pretty good numberSecondly, you make many assumptions about me. For one, you assume I do not invest. I have invested for 15 years, made many mistakes and learnt from them. You also assume I'm not a millionaire. The funny thing is, it IS simple things in life that lead to success - but you know what? it takes experience and wisdom to find out which simple things are the key.. it's like distilling complex instruction to the key drivers of success.Finally, if you are very focused, you will also realise your assumptions are wrong. Move to a country with no capital gains, 15% tax and 10bps for a one way transaction on the stock market. Let me help you and provide an example: Hong Kong.I do apologies for the delay in responding - happy to discuss more in private. I've been mentoring a couple of younger guys (your age - from what I can see in your profile) .. happy to help out..ps why the chip on your back? you seem very keen on character assassination when discussing a topic that we could share useful ideas for everyone on?
Tyra Banks, Self made millionaire? Thats a bit misleading....I think the more accurate description is that her phenomenal rack made her a millionaire; the personality attached to those hi-rollin fun bags is just along for the ride! Amiright fellas?! Huh? Huh? Yaaaaah, you know what talkin bout. boobies.
