When you think of “ millionaire“, what image comes to your mind? For many of us, its a
15、flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud.(2) But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivate them ar
16、ent material possessions but the choices that money can bring. “For the rich, its not about getting more stuff. Its about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want, “ says T. Hary Esker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Wealth means you can send your child to any school or qu
17、it a job you dont like.(3)According to the Spectrum Wealth Study, an annual survey of Americas wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever beforethe number of millionaires nearly doubled in the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. To make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the
18、 richest Americans, a mere billionaire no longer makes the cut. This year you needed a net worth of at least $1.3 billion.(4) If more people are getting richer than ever, why shouldnt you be one of them? Here are the secrets revealed by the people who have at least a million dollars in liquid assets
19、.1. Set your sights on where youre going(5) Twenty years ago, Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth. He was a college dropout who struggled to support his wife, Deanne, and three kids, working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts (囚犯). “
20、At times we were so broke that we washed our clothes in the bathtub because we couldnt afford the laundromat. “ Now hes a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina.(6) There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knew hed be rich. The reality is
21、 that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $ 5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff.(7) Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step. Esker says, “The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, youll only achieve sma
22、ll things.“(8) lt all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party. “Talking to him, it felt like discovering fire,“ he says. “I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store, and I began putting $ 25 a month in a mutual fund. “ Next he taught a class
23、 at a local community college on investing. His students became his first clients, which led to his investment practice. “There were lots of struggles, “ says Jeff, “but what got me through it was believing with all my heart that I would succeed. “2. Educate yourself(9) When Steve Maxwell graduated
24、from college, he had an engineering degree and a high-tech jobbut he couldnt balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip, “ says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach
25、me how to read my statement (结算单). “(10)One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just dont get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didnt understand this stuff, “ says Steve, “so I read
26、 books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (高手)I knew to explain things to me. “(11) He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars
27、, cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they could afford a more expensive one. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.(12)Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, I need to refinance my
28、housewhat should I do? A lot of times, I wouldnt know the answer, but Id go to find it and learn something in the process, “ he says.(13) In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal-Mart. He also started go
29、ing to real estate investment seminars, and its paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.(14) “I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little seLf-education, “ says S
30、teve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics. “3. Passion pays off(15) In 1995, Jill Blackhawk Strachan and her husband were barely making ends meet. Like so many of us, Jill was eager to discover her purpose, so she splurged on a session with a life coach. “When I told her my goal was
31、to make $ 30,000 a year, she said I was setting the bar too low. I needed to focus on my passion, not on the paycheck. “(16) Jill, who lives with her son in Alexandria, Minnesota, owned a gift basket company and earned just $15,000 a year. She noticed when she let potential buyers taste the food ite
32、ms, the baskets sold like crazy. Jill thought, Why not sell the food directly to customers in a fun setting?(17) With $ 6,000 in savings, a bank loan and a friends investment, Jill started packaging gourmet foods in a backyard shed and selling them at taste-testing parties. It wasnt easy. “I remembe
33、r sitting outside one day, thinking we were three months behind on our house payment, I had two employees I couldnt pay, and I ought to get a real job. But then I thought, No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to work. “(18)She stuck with it, even after her husband died three years later. “I live
34、 by the law of abundance, meaning that even when there are challenges in life, I look for the win-win, “ she says.(19) The positive attitude worked: Jills backyard company, Tastefully Simple, is now a directsales business, with $ 120 million in sales last year. And Jill was named one of the top 25 f
