4 14 Step Cheat Sheet to Build a Million Dollar Portfolio from Scratch! Video Script Kobe Bryant, the famous NBA basketball star has retired with enough money to never have to work again with his way more than million dollar retirement, but not everybody is able to earn millions of dollars during their lifetime like Kobe. But, even Kobe had to save every day! Intelligent decisions are the water that grows a strong money tree for your family. Unfortunately, very few of us were taught proper money saving skills from an early age. One of The New York Times Best-selling books, titled Smart Couples Finish Rich takes the time to rank the most meaningful investment numbers for families. The main point of Smart Couples Finish Rich, is that you don t have to hit the gene pool lotto and retire a wealthy basketball superstar, and you don t have to be born into money. You just have to make sure you re saving the right amount of money, each and every day, so that you can obtain a safe and secure financial future for you and your spouse. Think about this, just two dollars saved each day, invested with an average rate of return of twelve percent, turns a twenty year old college student into a millionaire by age sixty five; where it takes a fifty five year old person over one hundred and fifty six dollars a day, with the same rate of return, to achieve the exact same goal. Where do you fall on the age scale? How much do you need to save each day to retire a millionaire at age 65? Twenty years old: $2.00 Twenty Five: $3.57 Thirty: $6.35 Thirty Five: $11.35 Forty: $20.55 Forty Five: $38.02 Fifty: $73.49 Fifty Five: $ Another important book is I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi, who emphasizes the importance of putting this money into a self-directed Roth IRA. A self-directed Roth IRA has lower contribution limits than the Roth 401K, and also offers important tax deductions if you earn your daily savings through

5 your own business. By simply investing your self-directed Roth IRA into an indexed fund you should receive the expected return you need. Consider investing in one of the following, the Vanguard 500 Fund (VFINX), the ETF SPDR (SPY), or the NASDAQ (QQQ). Any of these funds should work nicely. If your heart s desire is to continually cruise around the world during your retirement, then the proceeds from this fund should be able to pay all the bills. In fact many major stock firms already offer debit cards that allow you to use your retirement account to pay for anything your heart desires with maximum convenience and access to your cash.
