How does one become a billionaire.?
I am only a 17 years old girl and you probably might laugh at me and some of you might even tell me to keep on dreaming but i hope there are also people out there who can give me some advice and encourage me to follow my dream.One of the person that inspired me the most is Mark Zuckerberg,i am sure almost all of you are familiar with his name,the founder of facebook.It amazed me how a simple collage student with little money and no background of a wealthy family became a millionaire at such an young age. Recently i have been visiting different sites concerned with business and reading books such as Guide to investing.This all might sound funny to you all considering the fact that i have no huge money and i am still living under my parents roof.What i dont understand about all Millionaires and billionaires alike is how they can manage to get wealthy when some dont even have a collage degree.Most people in our society have like one phd and two bachelor degrees and yet they struggle to make ends meet.I seriously dont get it.What is the key ingredient to becoming financially successful and independent? I feel lost since my math scores are low and i am not really good at economics.I am just an average student so i am scared these things will hinder me from reaching my goal. I really want to own a successful business one day,i want to start with something small like a cafeteria and end up big.I read that in order to invest you need a financial plan.They say investing is like planning a trip.To get from point A to B.But i really dont get it,so if some of you would be kind enough to help me with this matter it would greatly be appreciated.Thank you! Bottom line is: I WANT TO BE THE BOSS OF ME!
If there are many master programmers why aren't they billionaires?
I was just wondering why. I'm not saying programmers don't earn good salary they do earn good salaries and i also i think that even such programmers that reached the billions aren't even really true masters. I was just wondering though. Woudn't it be cool if every programmer had like a high chance of success to reach the millions or billions.
What can I do now to become a billionaire?
Im currently 16, im very interested in finance and business. I plan to become a millionaire by age 25, and a billionare by age 40. I am very dedicated to accomplish this, and I will do my best plus more. I rarely purchase uneccesary products (new phones, clothes, elc.) and I usually save up the money that I would acquire. This is not something I want to do, if I want to accomplish my goals I must start now and begin investing. In many books they urge you to buy assets like real estate and businesses, for a teenager with limited capital that would be very hard to do. So here are my questions: 1. What assets can I begin to invest in now? 2. What college should I go to in the us, where price/quality is taken into accountant? 3. Should I accomplish my dreams through investing in stocks, real estate, or businesses? (or a little of everything) 4. Where can I find a successfull mentor, who would teach me how to be successfull myself?
