Save MoreSteps to Retire a Millionaire Having a million-dollar porfolio is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious effort. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.61._ Vacations,cars,kids and all of lifes other expenses take a big chunk out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings,you need to minimize your expenses.Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.62._ If you dont save,youll never reach your goal. As obvious as this might seems, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, enrolling in the plan is a great way to put your savings on autopilot.Simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your immediate tax liability. If your employer offers to match your contributions up to a certain percentage,be sure to contribute enough to get the full match. Its like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash may be a challenge,particularly when youre young,but dont let that stop you from pursuing future riches.63._ Studies have shown that the majority of the returns generated by an investment are dictated by the asset-allocation decision. If you are looking to grow your wealth over time,fixed-income investments arent likely to get the job done,and inflation can take a big chunk out of your savings. Investing in equitis more risk,but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, its a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow. Asset-allocation strategies can help you learn how to make picking the right mix of securities the core of your investing strategy.64._ Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared,these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you cant avoid all of the bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to mitigate the damage they can do.65._ Your income should rise as time passes. Youll get raises, youll change jobs, and maybe youll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket,you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as you can.B What I remember most about middle school is one person who isnt my friend any more.This person gave me the gift of no longer being my friend.
