Top Ten: How to Bank a Million

Another in a series...this time we cover the Top 10 way to end up with a Million in the bank.

There may be some sarcasm in this post, and some drop dead serious suggestions...but all of these Top 10 items will lead to a Million in the Bank.

And now, the Top 10 Ways to Bank a Million:

10. To quote the age old joke: start with $2 million, and invest the money in Florida real estate.

9. Invest it wisely from as young an age as possible, and continue to drop money into investments as often as possible. How boring!!!!! (Yet, effective).

8. Find some trick on one of the Internets which no one has thought of before. Zany, crazy or different...that is all that matters!

7. Beat Geraldo to the secret cache of buried treasure. But honeslty, how often does this happen? Better to try for #6!

6. Beat the odds and win the lottery. Note: the most strongly discouraged of any Top 10 item EVER. The Fool's game if there ever was one.

5. Be physically gifted, and become a professional in a sport which people find interesting. Tough part: changing that DNA.

4. Marry into it. Tough choice with this one: you can use it to make it into something truly special, that you are a part of...or you can just party it away. Excellent!

3. Do anything noteworthy, then sell your soul to the tabloids. You will likely lose it as a result of the experience, but at least you will have it!

2. Inherit the money, be smart and/or raised right, and work to grow it.

1. Do what you love, turn it into something that people want, teach it to others, get good people around you, and GROW IT. The surest way known to free societies.
