    Seven common traits of millionaires:

    They live well below their means;
    They allocate their time, energy and money efficiently, in ways conducive to building wealth;
    They believe that financial independence is more important than displaying high social status;
    Their parents did not provide economic relief;
    Their adult children are economically self-sufficient;
    They are proficient in targeting market opportunities;
    They chose the right occupation.


    How many can you say you have?

              How about you?
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                    Looks like JFK has been reading "Mind of a Millionaire", read it a few years ago, great fucking book!

                    The best stats were:

                    Average millionaire never paid more than $70 for a pair of shoes
                    Average millionaire never paid more than $100 for a watch
                    Average millionaire drives a Ford F-150
                    The Average millionaire's wife clips grocery coupons

                    the list goes on...

                        I think I got all the traits except;
                        "They chose the right occupation"


                        The most important ones are:
                        "They live well below their means"
                        "They believe that financial independence is more important than displaying high social status"

                        This is the biggest factor since most millionaires are over 55 and retired, and most millionaires made less than $80k a year. The average millionaire became one by saving money.

                        Of course if your banking a couple million a year for a while those rules shouldn't apply, but I do know of several people who made that much at one point in their life, and are barely able to scrape enough money together for rent now becuase of poor life decisions.

                          And of course this trait:

                          "They have a million dollars"

                              The most recent millionaire I met came to Prague recently and the bar bill was $2-3,000 a night. So I guess he's the exception.

                              He's one of those elite webmasters making $10k a day

                                I cant seem to not live beyond my means, I have blown several in the years past ! My firm belief is that you cant take it with you, so enjoy it while you are here. That is not to say I do not have assets, but I hate to live a miserly existence just to have a mill net worth. probably 4 out of the seven
