You Don’t Have To Work At Home To Become A Millionaire

Posted by Mom at 7:46am in Saving Money, Work At Home

Save your money

Trent at The Simple Dollar posted a no-fuss, “path to weath” plan where anyone can become a millionaire by investing 5 minutes a day

In researching home business ideas, I’ve come across many scams and “get rich quick” schemes targeting those who want wealth without the effort.  There is NO program out there that delivers on this promise.  NONE.

You need to work in order to earn.  If it is legitimate work, it takes time.

Trent’s advice is to take 5 minutes a day and analyze your spending habits, look for ways to save, and then examine how you can grow your savings by investing.

Back in October, Dad and I decided to kick the Starbucks habit and saved $230.  I am taking that $230 a month and applying it towards our home equity line of credit (in addition to the regular payment).  This will enable us to pay off the balance faster and save money in interest.  Once the HELOC is paid, I will take that monthly payment and sock it into our high interest savings account.  We are looking at ALL areas of spending to see where we can cut back and save even more. 

I plan on taking it one step further by increasing our income through a home business and funneling that money into our debt repayment.

Will the simple step of cutting back on daily spending make us millionaires?  If we are consistent on saving and investing, I believe it will. 

Wash, rinse, repeat…it’s really that easy.

You don’t even have to spend $899 on that “Turn-Key-No-Work-Get-Rich-Now” system! ;)
