Hey, I’m a totally money driven individual which has its pros and cons. But if I see something that I feel I can make a cut on I’m all in! What do you believe millionaires do to generate such an income? Who wouldn’t enjoy to choose the car they like rather than just the car that they can afford? Or the house, the holidays… wouldn’t life just be so much simpler with that money behind you do do as and what you really want to do and enjoy!

Exploit the incomes vulnerabilities and needs of others they can monetise with their own existing higher wealth band?

Yes that is very true but not a bit of me… landlords really get under my skin. Not the ones that take a risk to have 1/2 properties but the ones who buy everything up and get greedy with it

We've only known two millionaires.

One was 'something in the city' the other built up a successful business and was bought out by one of the big fish

That's millionaires ultimately. Buy up stuff others need so you can sell it to them, whether it's a product or just space. Water, looking at you nestle " noone has the right to drinking water".

Buy enough and you reach critical mass.

You could probably manage it on paper by buying run down property and doing it up but you need capital of an understanding bank manager for that

Also the idea that those who aren’t rich, aren’t because they don’t work as hard/ hard enough or that they are bad with money, lazy etc are all crapitalist myths. People work hard and can barely afford to pay someone else’s mortgage or heat their house or feed themselves or their children.

Sometimes right place right time. An older friend of mine was travelling in Australia years ago and met a film producer with an idea for a film but too broke to put it together.

My friend to took a punt and invested 5k. The film was Crocodile Dundee.

Some people just seem lucky like this individual, but then in his life he's taken risks with money I would never have done. That being said he's considered and considers himself poor among his circle of friends. So even with millions like him it's not necessarily the case that you feel you've 'made it' and it's only relative to the people you associate with often.

Millionaires aren't what they used to be. There are a lot of pensioners in the south east who bought their houses 60 years ago and are now with over a million but they still can't afford to put the heating on.

The trouble with driving towards mass wealth is you never achieve it, the more you get the more you want. There's nothing wrong in wanting to be successful but you'll only be happy when you are content in what you have and appreciate the true value of things. A man waking his dog to meet his friend in a pub for a quick pint is probably far happier than a bloke stood in a champagne bar bragging to strangers that he's just bought a £50,000 Rolex.

To make money you need to have a gift (eg elite sportsman), or spot an opportunity and throw everything at it to make it a success. Most successful people I know, didn't get it right first time and had many failed attempts before finding something which works. Unfortunately, to be truly successful in a money sense, you need to be truly ruthless, bit like Mr Musk.

Other made his money mainly in property and started the sunbed shop craze up here was buying up old shops turning them into sunbed shops then sold the them all before the craze ended, he was a horrible greedy cunt we fell out through work

Third is a friend of mine as already quite well off made his money working saving and investing then got a it luck after he bought a garden centre in a desireable area and got planning permission for many houses on the land never told me how much as he always cries poor but he’s living in a 1.2 million pound house.

Risk taking is absolutely crucial, and also the resilience to bounce back from the risks that don't come off. Most of us just don't take those big risks, which is absolutely fine, so we're never likely to see the big financial rewards except by pure luck.

Also add in money makes money it’s much easier to generate big wealth from wealth. I know this as the majority of my male friends are all millionaires (liquid )

Every single one them told me once you got your first couple of mil it’s much easier amplifying that number to 10+ as more opportunities open once you are in the club.

Though half of them have no real family life / failed marriages .

Probably half the fab members are millionaires, it is not really that much nowadays, I think you are talking multi millionaires. I have got there by marrying a woman who is a compulsive worker even well into retirement, neither of us have ever been close to earning national average wage, total skin flints and no sex life, being a millionaire may not be the utopia you imagine. A million invested might just let you live a modest life with out working and you would have to be careful to keep adding to the investment.

Luck is a huge part of it. Running a successful business is probably the best way but it will consume your life so is it worth it? Otherwise you can rise the ranks within a company. My father was able to do this so in his 50s he was very comfortable. But again work was his major focus. He would never have had the time to be on this site!

I think I would consider myself money motivated, because I am afraid of not having a roof over my head, food, etc. From my perpective financial wealth is risk and luck coming together. You have to be lucky enough that you are in the right place, right time, with the right requirements and mindset to take that risk.

It also appears to work as a feedback loop. The more you can put in the more you can get back (e.g. 1% return on £1 vs £1000)

One of the best ways I heard of becoming a millionaire, is to solve a problem a million people have.

About 5 years ago i went all in on crypto mining and investing and in gold huge risk (crypto) but paid off my mum did pass away and left me money i wasn't expecting to get and a house full of stuff I've sold over the years, I can safely say anything i want materialistic i can have it just don't want or need much, infact im very happy and humble to live a very basic lifestyle with some perks, ill continue to work untill i decide i don't want to, retirement is pretty much sorted for me, getting out the UK is my main priority once my kids have grown to some where warm all year round vest and shorts weather

If you wanna make it you gota be prepared to take a calculated risk and the lottery ain't it start investing those spare ££

This is like a law of opportunity the more you have you are disproportionately privileged positively. You see it everywhere like the poorest people pay much more for their gas and electricity.

You don’t need a lot of money to live on interest & capital growth only - although it’s getting a bit harder and the last year ! If most people understood this at 16, they would be retired by 35 /40

As far as I know, I know 1 millionaire. They're largely wealthy though career progression, constant skills development, training, re-training and being in the right industry. They are by no means frugal but don't seem to buy things on a whim. They'd rather have good clothes, a nice home and holidays than have excesses that soak money up like say a swimming pool and driveway full of cars for instance.

I had something confirmed to me quite late in life.

I waited all my life to get the car id always wanted. The day after getting it I realised I was no happier than the day before. Lol.

It’s nice having some money to not struggle. Book the holiday you really want rather than the holiday you can afford. Comfortable house. No worry about bills.

I know that if I won the lottery tomorrow I’d be no happier than I am today. True.

"if we were all millionaires we would all die.

You need rich and poor to make the world turn

Nonsense.

You don’t *need* millionaires at all!

And the idea that we NEED rich and poor is why we probably deserve what the planet will do to us all soon. "

Ok Einstein. so we should all be working class? Who owns and creates business then to help us earn a living.

"The millionaires I know are obsessed with making more money

I will be a paper millionaire at some point with house equity/savings + pension "

Joe is rubbing his hands right now.
