If you want to become the first millionaire in your family, here are 10 tips everyone should know:
1) Your time is more valuable than money:
If you make $20/ hour, a new car doesn't cost $50,000, it costs 2,500 hours of your time (or 357 days of work).
By framing purchases in time instead of dollars, you will make better-informed decisions with your hard-earned money.

3) Who you choose to marry will have significant financial implications on your wealth.

4) The Car Payment Trap:
A car is a depreciating asset that loses value over time, and purchasing an expensive car can be a poor financial decision.
Choosing an affordable or less expensive car will save money, allow you to invest more in a Roth IRA and build you more wealth.

5) The reality of 9 to 5 jobs:
A 9 to 5 job can provide reliable income but it's unlikely to make you very wealthy.
Those who create significant wealth have multiple streams of income, such as investments in real estate, stocks or businesses.

6) Penny pinching won't help you:
Saving $5 on coffee won't help you retire much earlier, overspending on big-ticket lifestyle decisions matters more.
Choosing an affordable home, downsizing to a smaller space or a less expensive car will allow you to invest more & grow wealth.

Compounding interest is the process of earning interest on both the original investment and the accumulated interest over time.
