Question: What is the best way to make $1MUSD in 5 years? So far all the investment advice, and things Ive read target the everyday American trying to make ends meet and focus mostly on retirement. None of these are for me, I want to start a business and invest. Thats a very generic goal -- but why for example invest in a ROTH IRA account $4000 a year when my goal is to have money in the relatively near future, and not 30 years from now..

Answer: Thinking big numbers like 1 million in 5 years is a good start. If my math is correct it is only $200,000 thousand per year. Not bad, some people even earn that amount.\nMy goal is $125,000 in 5 years. That is $25,000 per year\nat $2,000 per month. I am a small thinker. The route to my small goal is small business ownership #1. Keep your cost of living low, #2, Stay out of debt #3. Dont waste your time working for others, or sitting wasting your life away on a meaningless job.  Plus be willing to work 7 days a week to make ends meet. If you are working, get a second job of personal business interest. Its hard work but happy work. Or ask a millionaire how to. Good Luck!
