The way to be rich :
Earn loads
Spend little
Marry money
Outlive the spouse, and start again. (It is recommended you start this process at 16 years of age to get plenty of years in).

Alot of people ask this. Becoming rich is a dream that can become true. As longs as you keep away from any scams and work out your finances plus save then you can become rich.
The main way that will help you to become richer than what you are now is to work out your finances and also to a little bit of research before spending your money.
For example, people normally spend their money without doing any research on the product first. If you do some research then you may find that you can get the expact same product from somewhere else for about 5 - 20% cheaper than what you would have brought it for.
Now that is already a 5 - 20% saving, which you can then put away into a savings account.
Putting money into a savings account also needs research/shopping around as different savings accounts offer different rates.
Also, another good way of increasing your money is through the LSE, which is alot more riskier than putting your money in the Bank, but if you do your research and invest it well then you can have a much larger return on your investment.
The lottery is something that I use to do about 4 years ago plus I use to gamble a little on slots machines and things. Now the lottery and slot machines can make you some money, but there is more chance of you loosing money than gaining so these two options is something that I would not consider. I prefer now to save up the money that I use to spend on the lottery and slot machines and invest it into the LSE and invest it into savings accounts, premium bonds, etc.
After doing all this, I now actually have some money to my name.
Another better and good way to become rich is to sit down and think of a good business plan that would work and then set yourself up into business.
If you can get a good business up and running and make it quickly expand then you can easily become rich from this.Tayus wrote:how can i become rich?0 -

i know the answer to this .......
it was actually my grandad that told me .....
look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves ..
yes we have all heard it , but its so true ....
i prefer to say look after the pounds and the thousands will look after themselves ,
just another thought .....chase the big money and you will be running for ever , but chase the small money and you will be able to sit down one day .
there is a million examples i could use but im sure everyone knows most of them .....0 -
To become stinking rich, you need to take risks, calculated risks...0

Taking risks is true. It does help you out depending on what risks you take.
If you gamble through slot machines and things, that is taking risks, but not the right risks.
Investing your money in the LSE is also taking risks, but they can result in good risks.0
