Millennial Millionaire: Here's How To Build Wealth Fast

This is the fastest way you can make more money, says Millennial Money founder Grant Sabatier. In 2010, Grant Sabatier, then 24, had only $2.26 in his bank account. It wasn't even enough for him to buy lunch at Chipotle. He knew things needed to change, so he set a goal for himself on the spot: Earn $1 million and retire as early as possible.

And he did it: Sabatier boosted his income to more than $300,000 per year and managed to save around 80 percent of what he brought in, which he invested in the market.

Only five years, three months and six days later, Sabatier reached his goal with more than $1.2 million saved. That was in 2015.

While beefing up his savings rate was a key part of Sabatier's success, he says his best advice for building wealth quickly is to focus on increasing your income. And the first place to look, he says, is at the work you already do.

"Start with your full-time job. You want to be making as much money as possible in your full-time job," says the 34-year-old Millennial Money founder and author of "Financial Freedom: A Proven Path to All the Money You Will Ever Need." "In reality, most people are probably leaving a lot of money on the table."

First, make sure you're taking full advantage of all the benefits your company offers, including hidden health care perks or a 401(k) match, which is basically free money.

Millennial Millionaire: Here's How To Build Wealth Fast

[jakevb]

Title should be how to ask for a raise...

[wangchangkevin]

click bait: begging for a raise is not going to make you a millionaire.

[MarkusProctor]

I'm more interested in hearing how Sabatier went from "broke" to an annual income of $300, 000. You have to do a lot more than just ask for a raise at your day job.

Build wealth: lower expenses, invest into a index fund and IRA, 80/20 rule, trade your time for more money.

[ladhkay]

Well Nice vid but clickbait title...all you did was talk about asking for a raise but not all the other ways to grow your wealth

[dtd]

Very bad title. This should be about pay raise instead. You are not going to be rich if you got a pay raise for cooking burgers.

[derekyasmar]

Lol. Nobody cant ask for a raise for them to become a millionaire.

Even if i ask for a 50% raise, i still wont become a millionaire.

[CardenFinancial]

Don't be afraid to quit your job. Work for a company that values you financially. 💶

[Dubov]

15% percent raise! I’ll be lucky to get a 3.5% one.

How to be rich quick : Write a book/teach others how to be rich

Millionaire advice: don’t ask for a raise, add value.

[shawnR]

Majority of people will have to follow up... This is a great opening video info... But when it comes to follow up on your boss for a raise, that's a different set of skill... You need properly planned strategy... Overall a great video for opening salary increment ...

[cebanasdima]

title is not corresponding to content, dislike

[BCSelfImprovement]

This video was made for people who trade their time for money.

[rizyrozaytheboss]

I think the video is on how to ask for a raise; but if you work a dead end job at a dead end company you’re not gonna get a raise. The better way is to switch companies, get another career or better yet start your own business or whatever you think is a good side hustle.

[marquiselogan]

Paying your debt off and not using credit will give you one of the fastest ways to building wealth

[helenadurst]

When the comment section is more helpful regarding the title than the video itself ...

[zakariahussien]

What about if he refuses to rise the salary?

[robithevampire]

"How to Build Wealth? Ask for a raise."
lol

[MsMissmango]

I need a video on how this works in the Big 4.
