If you aren’t lucky enough to inherit a million dollars, you’ll have to create wealth on your own. Relatively few millionaires inherit their wealth, so you’re in good company. Most millionaires didn’t become wealthy by doing anything spectacular. They simply have a useful set of habits that they stick to religiously. Start on the path to becoming a self-made millionaire: Deal with uncertainty. Most millionaires don’t have a “regular job” and are forced to deal with more uncertainty than average income earners. Be comfortable with uncertainty. Pay yourself before you pay your bills. Save at least 10% of your paycheck before you sit down and pay your bills. If you pay yourself first, you’ll adjust your spending to accommodate your bills. If you pay your bills first, you’ll spend the remainder and save nothing. Save your money before you have a chance to spend it.
