How to become a millionaire

It takes the average millionaire 28 years of investing before they hit that 1 million dollar mark. The lesson is clear: consistent, long term investing is the surest path to success. But, what most people don’t realize is that even a small amount of money can get you there. Just $4 a day - that’s right, what we would spend on a latte- could turn into over $4M if you invested long enough. This is based on the average annual return of the market as measured by the S&P 500 of 10%. If you doubled that to $8/day, you could get to double the returns.¹

Remember, if you have high cost debt like credit cards, pay these off first since the rate of interest is usually about 20%, which is double the average return of the S&P 500. Learn how to get out of debt here.
