How would you use $1M if a magic wand was waved and it appeared in your bank account today?
In this episode Kate & Owen discuss what it takes to become a millionaire. Weāre not going to give you a secret recipe to become an overnight millionaire though, and if anyone promises you otherwiseā¦run!
We cover the three key components of the investing equation: your returns (and asset allocation), how much you can invest each month and your investment timeframe, along with the importance of focusing on what you can control on your investing journey.
What if it doesnāt work and I miss the goalposts?
Not achieving your money goals is a real fear. But just think about this for a secondā¦
Even if you donāt reach your goals, youāre still going to be in aĀ much better positionĀ if you start saving and investing today.
Youāll have built your financial confidence, put solid financial foundations in place, learned something, and hopefully have given your investments a solid kickstart.
Would you regret trying, even if you miss the goalposts? Will you be in a better position than you were before?
Project yourself forward into the future, and look back on this decision. Then ask yourself,Ā āwill I regret not doing this?āĀ Then make a decision and act accordingly.
