5 Signs to be a Millionaire

Although if you don't have a good amount of money now, there are a few signs that distinguish some that are more likely not to see their wealth rise, from those who are on the road to becoming a millionaire. As you're going to learn, it's not just about how much money you're going to make that will set you on the road to financial prosperity. There are also other ways to get closer and closer to the title of a ''Millionaire''.

1. Difference between essentials & non-essentials

The first step in earning financial prosperity on the way to becoming a millionaire is to consider what are essentials, and what are non-essential. That means, recognizing things in your life that you can't do without, and things that, are good to have that will lead to living your best life.  

Let's hope that this will help you reconsider your ideas about the costs that are important to your life and the expenses that you should forgo in order to maximise your savings. If you can do this effectively, it will go a long way towards creating the financial future of your dreams.

2. Experience > Materialistic things

Things you spend your money on should be targeted at improving yourself or bringing you new experiences. This involves traveling around the world to learn about new cultures, or to further your education in a formal or informal environment. Education is a cost that is expected to pay for itself over time.  If you're smart about what kind of education you're getting you will excel in the field you choose.

Paying for philosophy education is less likely to pay off in the future than receiving education in areas such as computer science or engineering. Make sure you understand the potential advantages of your education before you invest your time and resources into an advanced degree.

3. Saving is like a sixth sense

It doesn't matter if you make millions of dollars, if you can't save money, you're never going to be a millionaire. Saving needs to be like your sixth sense, you should still realise how much you need to save in order to meet your financial goals. One of the easiest ways to do this is to set a monthly budget. Strict adherence to a budget and saving an extra step would benefit in a number of ways. You're never going to be short on money, whether it's for a big unforeseen cost, paying for college tuition, or just a rainy day. Not only that, your saving effort will bring you closer to the millions you've always dreamed of.

4. Transparent plan

Much like sticking to your monthly budget, preparing for your future will do wonders to realize your financial future. You should create a 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year financial timeline, both of which will give you a sense of what your finances could look like over these periods of time.

There are several ways to set up an efficient financial plan. Some of the questions you have to ask yourself are: 

1. How much debt have you got? Is this debt going to increase?
2. How much money are you making today, and how much are you expecting to make in the future?
3. How long would you have been able to support yourself if you missed your job?
4. When is your retirement goal?

These questions will help to put you on the road to a deeper view of your financial prospects.

5. Open-Mindfulness

''Those who change their minds because they have learned something are champions, and those who stubbornly fail to learn are the losers''.

You should keep and discuss contrasting possibilities in your mind while working fluently towards what is likely to be reliable depending on what you read. This openness will help you find solutions to your financial issues.
