Becoming A Millionaire Is Way Easier Than You Think
Saving up to be a millionaire is easier than you think. It starts with putting a little away a day. That number, though, depends on how old you are when you start. 20 years old? Just put two dollars away everyday and your on your way!
According to SimpleMost.com, "It might seem impossible, but starting off saving just $2 a day when you’re 20 or $20.55 when you are 40 can get you to be a millionaire by the time you’re 65.
I am 31 years old and live day to day. Besides Social Security coming out of my check I have nothing going towards retirement. Turns out I am not the only one. Most of my generation is in the same boat.
"About 66% of people between the ages of 21 and 32 have absolutely nothing saved for retirement, according to the National Institute on Retirement Security." The report is based on Census data collected in 2014.
Even a squirrel finds a nut eventually but this guy found an acorn. I am getting started with a little help from the Acorns app.
It links to your cards and accounts, and rounds up the spare change with every purchase you make. Then it invests that money with whatever settings you have made for your portfolio.
It's pretty cool stuff. Especially for millennials who will be the largest homeless generation ever if we don't start saving now.
I don't know about you, but I wanna be like this couple when I grow up!
