Everyone Dreams of Becoming a Millionaire

Money Changes Everything...

Does money solve all problems? If not, why do we imagine perfect lives when we day dream about winning the lottery?

We all dream of winning the lottery, we never seem to dream about it ruining our lives though. But many lottery winners claim that hitting it big cost them everything. They spend the money super fast, they lose their friends and the ability to trust anyone because they are always wondering if the only reason people talk to them now is to get something from them.

Lottery Winners Go Broke

The moral of the story is that if you are bad with money, you are going to be broke even if you win the lottery.

If you do hit it big, hire a financial adviser immediately. Draft a budget and stick to it!

Don't become a bad statistic. Nearly 1/3 of lottery winners (of one million dollars or more) go bankrupt.

Want To Be Rich? Then Study The Rich, Do What They Do

Someone who wants to be a doctor studies other doctors.

If you want to be rich, study the rich. Most of what you think about the rich is wrong.

The Millionaire Next Door is probably the best book ever written on the actual habits of millionaires. And realize that self made millionaires are not the same as people who inherit wealth.

Other good books to read are Think and Grow Rich, The Art of Money Getting, and Richistan.
