Five Ways to Retire a Multi Millionaire

So...I ran across this article this morning and I noticed a few ways missing. Being frugal, saving and investing wisely seem not to have made the list. Maybe beliefs like this are the reason most can't/don't retire early.

Five Ways to Retire a Multi-Millionaire

 

[Onward]

What a disappointing article. Nothing but long shots.

I speed-read it. The article is just stating the obvious. Not worth your time.

Exec summary: 1) Win Lottery, 2) IPO, 3) Star Athlete, 4) Be a top CEO, 5) Marry Well or Pick the right partner.

Like somebody can choose to win a lottery or be a star athlete or a top CEO.

looked pretty straightforward and real to me. They did leave off sending the boys out to retire a millionaire. "Yeah, see, we're gonna send you on a long sea voyage see, gonna punch your ticket, get you fitted for a new pair of shoes, gonna put you in retirement see"?

Picking the right parents or marrying well remains a top way to attain wealthy status, though it doesn't guarantee you will retire with that wealth...

Why so serious? nobody saw the tongue in cheek?

Why so serious? nobody saw the tongue in cheek?

You are absolutely right.

... and they left out winning the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes!

The article forget #6. Start out with $10 mil, then retire with with $5 mil

One more..............Start with a billion and then...........oh, you've heard that one ?

#7 rob a bank (if you can find one that still has any money)

#8 get congress to add an earmark subsidising your wannabe unprofitable business

If I thought being mega-rich was important to enjoying retirement I'd earn it with a little hard work and ingenuity. First thing I'd do is invent and build a time machine. Then, of course, I could employ most if not all of the techniques in the article.

I am still trying to figure out how you ever get the opportunity to pick your parents?

That article is at best stating the obvious, at worst stating the ridiculous.

Time machine let's you get the lottery numbers to your parents before you're born. Close as I can get.
