I think a realistic goal for most women is to accumulate at least $400,000.00 by the time they turn 40. I attended a real estate seminar where James Smith said that if women don’t have at least 400k by 40, they are headed toward “the dark side of the moon”. Basically, what he meant was you will have a real hard time of it if you don’t have at least that much by then. I don’t have a fancy job or fancy degree, I work as a security guard, but I made the 400k by 40 mark, by basically working as much as I can and being frugal as all get out. If I can do it, ladies, you can do it too.

P.S.: It is a sad commentary on how our society is set up, but the less children you have, the easier time you will have of accumulating wealth.

I like the idea of being a millionaire, but I think we really put too much emphasis on that “1″ with 6 zeros after it. The focus for me is to have financial freedom and peace of mind, and that doesn’t require $1M in net worth. It can be done with much less.

Having money can help you with financial freedom and peace of mind, but mostly, money gives you options. And, it is what you do with the options that determines whether you’ll have financial freedom over the long haul that contributes to your peace of mind.

Success in my life has been based largely on foresight to invest in my future, determination to earn more, and saving to achieve specific goals. For me, success requires a deliberate attitude and approach.

If you don’t have goals, then you aren’t going to be motivated, and how will you know when you “have arrived” at your destination? I’ve achieved many of my goals and now I am working on new ones.

Focus is important. A willingness to be different is also very important. Enthusiasm, recognition of opportunities and planning are also key to success.

I think the most important thing is to plan for success with clear goals, then work the plan to achieve the goals. The plan can change, but you need to be deliberate about everything you do.

You also need to be realistic with your goals and cautious with your actions. If you throw caution to the wind, don’t be surprised if you see your money blowing in the wind right along with it.

Good fortune to all, whatever your destination may be,

I too share the passion for achieving and sustaining millionaire status. After visiting your website, I purchased several books to add to my library–How to Think Like a Millionaire and Debt is Slavery, which I read in one day (fast read and I highly recommend it).

My fellow aspiring millionaires–my advice to you is simple…Pay yourself first, Invest and Save! Really analyze your purchases because more oft than not, the lady carrying that new, hot bag probably doesn’t have sum total of that purchase in her wallet, much less her account! Best of success in your quest.

Love your site Ginger! And yes, I want to be a millionaire. I went to the mall with a girlfriend yesterday and saw a L.A.M.B bag that I loved. But then I said to myself, “Gwen Stefani is a multi-millionaire and I’m not!” Needless to say, the bag is still at Nordstrom and my money is in the bank!! Thanks for the timely articles. Keep up the good work.

If you liked The Millionaire Next Door, I strongly recommend Millionaire Women Next Door. I re-read it every so often and find that it is a great reminder of things we already know, but the added value hearing the specific stories of women successfully managing their wealth is very encouraging to me!

Hey Girl,
I love the fact that you want to be a multimillionaire. I think that actually acknowledging that is already the biggest and first step in achieving that! I’m right there with you girl!!!

Franklin says that we only have once chance to make it .. well i think that we have more than one chance. I reckon that we are presented with opportunities to make our lives better every single day and the more that you out yourself in that millionaire mindset then the more you are going to be able to take advantage of them!

All the best girl, keep us posted!

All of us get at least one chance to make it. The millionares are simply the people who took that one chance.
