Posts Tagged “Million Dollars”

I was recently reminded of a great concept that I learned about when I was a teenager. If a person were to take one dollar, invest the dollar in an asset and then sell the asset for two dollars, they will have taken the first step in a 20 month process of accumulating a million dollars. The only habit that would need to be created is the habit of doubling the amount in hand every month for 20 months. The final amount at the end of each month would be: Start - $1 Month 1 - $2 Month 2 - $4 Month 3 - $8 Month 4 - $16 Month 5 - $32 Month 6 - $64 Month 7 - $128 Month 8 - $256 Month 9 - $512 Month 10 - $1024 Month 11 - $2048 Month 12 - $4096 Month 13 - $8192 Month 14 - $16384 Month 15 - $32768 Month 16 - $65536 Month 17 - $131072 Month 18 - $262144 Month 19 - $524288 Month 20 - $1048576 Obviously the model is very simple and the idea is basic enough for anyone to grasp, however, I would like to expand on the underlying psychology of this concept. Let’s imagine that we wer …

Each of them paid an average of $6 monthly, bringing the monthly subscription revenue of Club Penguin to an approximate 4.2 million dollars. To top it off Club Penguin was also making money off virtual goods and online merchandise. For a 3 man team sharing that amount of dough per month that’s pretty good money! Disney’s acquisition was a cash payment of $350 million and an opportunity to earn out an additional $350 million between the time of acquisition and 2009. This simply threw the world into frenzy. Suddenly the folks who were already in the virtual world business began examining how they could emulate Club Penguin’s success. Folks who were in the gaming business decided to get a piece of the virtual world business. Folks who were not in either industry but in the tech business decided to invest in virtual world R&D. Folks who had no idea how to go about this and had no money to invest could only look on. One year later, there is still speculation whether there would ever be ano …

First, a few questions. Are your core values in line with most millionaires? Are you setting wealth goals and tracking them honestly in order to substantially increase your net worth? Who are you? Is wealth part of your life equation? What does it mean to be a fulfilled millionaire? Pick up any newspaper and you ll see there is plenty of news about millionaires. They seem to be proliferating like bunny rabbits. Each year the North American millionaire ranks grow. Let s be crystal clear, being a millionaire means having a net worth of a million dollars. In accountant geek talk, this means having more assets then liabilities. Just because you live in a big house and drive a flashy car (with that pretty scarf around your neck) doesn t necessarily mean you are a millionaire. Underneath all that chutzpah may be huge loans and the ever-mounting credit card debt. And don t get me going about credit card debt there s another subject that has seen plenty of news coverage lately. One of …

In the world of investment and compounding, even a humble $20 bill can be a seed capital account that will grow to gigantic proportions. When your money earns interest upon interest, you can see some really magical things starting to happen. Speed of return is just as important. Lets take our $20 bill for example, can you think of ways to turn that $20 into $40? If you could double your result every time for 17 times, you would have over $1.3 million dollars by the time you are at your 17th transaction. Have you thought about how to double your $20 dollars? It would actually be remarkably easy and I don’t think there would be a reader considering this, that wouldn’t have a few ideas about how to double a $20 dollar note into $40. But how would you double $650,000 which is the 16th transaction or step? If you were able to double $20 by investing it. In other words, buying something for $20 and getting back $40 when you re-sell it, then you can do it at higher levels too. The main diffe …

The thing about compounding or the application of interest upon interest is a remarkable mathematical concept. Anyone who has sat playing on a calculator for a short time can become staggered by what different compounders can do over given compounding events. For example, starting with $100 or 100 on your calculator, if you applied 100% to that hundred dollars and multiplied it by 14 events you would have over $1.4 million dollars. Those 14 events could theoretically be anything, they could be years, or they could be months. Manufacturing returns of 100% may sound like quite a challenge but really what are we talking about here anyway. We are talking about making 20% per week. Can you think of a way to take $100 dollars and turn it into $120? If you could apply 20 percent per week, you would have 100% per month. If this could be maintained, just like our calculator showed us, it would total over $1.4 million dollars in just 14 months. The rate of return or the speed of the returns for …
