Are you Looking for a Million Dollars?
It seems as if a million dollars is the magic number. What would you do with a million dollars? It might seem like the answer to all of life's problems. But the fact is, you don't have to look far for a million dollars.
Let's say that you average $36,000 a year in earnings. If you work for 30 years before retirement, you will make $1,080,000 in your lifetime. If you work 40 years, you will make $1,440,000.
According to the government, the average disposbale income in the US is around $24,000 a year. This is the income that is left after your taxes are paid. That is around 30% in taxes -- and is probably accurate.
For simplicity, we won't look at growth and investments. We will only look at the basics of the income earned.
You worked forty years. You made over almost a million and a half dollars. You will pay the government a half a million dollars in taxes. If you have had your million in your lifetime.
If you save what the average American does, you will have saved less than 3%. That is only $30,000 -- if you ignore interest and investment returns. That is all you have left of $1,000,000.
To have $100,000 saved, you will have to save 10% of your income and work an extra 43 years.
At 25%, the savings jumps to a quarter of a million dollars saved in 43 years of work. If you factor in basic interest and some investment returns, that could easily grow into a million dollars in savings.
You may be saying that it is nice to play around with the numbers, but it just isn't realistic. I realize that not everyone has 40 to 50 years to save up. Most people can barely afford to put 10% of their income into savings. But look and see what you can do.
You may not be able to save big, but that doesn't mean that you can't ever have a million dollars. If you set aside a set percentage of your income into a sturdy investment, you will begin to see your money grow for you. The amazing compounding of interest can make a huge difference in your life. And in your future retirement.
You can dream about having a million dollars, or you can make it happen. Start small and simple. Keep with it and it will pay off.

1,000 Dollars and an Idea: Entrepreneur to Billionaire $3.95 The rags-to-riches story of an amazing business wizard--from the Louisiana cotton fields to the worlds of computers, retailing, fast food, high finance, and green energy--life lessons from a man ahead of the pack and ahead of his time. "My work is to create companies and build them," says the billionaire whom "Fortune" magazine, over thirty years ago, characterized_as "one of the most, if not the most, important entrepreneurs" of the century. This was even before Wyly contributed to nearly every great technological, service industry, and investment business breakthrough in the second half of the twentieth century. Now, in his fast-paced, fascinating, and candid memoir, Wyly reveals the thought processes, relationships, and financial machinations behind the building of his diverse businesses over the last four decades. Here's the story of how he worked his way through Louisiana Tech selling class rings and why, after his first job in which he broke sales records for IBM (along with Ross Perot, a fellow IBM salesman) and a brief stint at Honeywell, he decided to risk $1,000 of his savings to found the first "computer utility" company in the business world. This was in 1963. Two years later, he took his University Computing Company public and became an instant millionaire. Never losing his entrepreneurial spirit, Wyly undertook one challenge after another, such as: - Waging a successful anti-monopoly battle against AT&T, enabling him to build a "telephone highway" for computers - Growing the modest Bonanza Steak House chain, which he "inherited" as the result of a bad debt, to a total of 600 outlets before selling it for a huge profit - Creating a new systemssoftware company, Sterling Software, which he eventually sold for $4 billion - Dividending Sterling Commerce to public shareholders and selling to AT&T_for $4 billion in 2000 - Expanding the small arts-and-crafts chain Michaels Stores from 10 to 1,000 stores before selling it for $6 billion in 2006 - Founding Green Mountain Energy, which has become the largest and most profitable green business in the country. Part autobiography and part inspirational self-help business guide, Wyly not only provides his homespun life lessons in the practice of starting and building businesses, but he also delivers refreshing new insights into how many American businesses operated from the 1950s to the present. |
