Jarus: Even if in Naira, I think having 1 million Naira in bank a/c doesnt make one a millionaire yet. A millionaire must have several millions in cash and assets, or net worth. Also, the millions should be stable and not having 3m today and broke over next 3 months. And very comfortable with millions.

In the above sense, I am clearly not a millionaire. But if we are talking about owning first million, then maybe I did that at 26. And my education wasn't fast, graduated @ 24.

muyoto:

interesting. i suppose the thread should have been more appropriately named "AT WHAT AGE SHOULD ONE MAKE HIS/HER FIRST MILLION?"

IYA NGBALI: 70 is the ideal age because life begins at 70

WebSurfer: take my words, its very possible, am sure if you think, ♈̷̴̩ȍǘ can recall who here mad it that age, well, am 20 and will be 21 in July, not made my first million though, but by the time I graduate next year, am sure I can do it by God's special grace, even b4 22

bakila:

Ok we now understand. When people are in school they most often look at those who are fit to employ them as not fast enough. Good that you set a target for yourself, but it is very important to set a realistic one.

If you are in Nigeria it is very easy to make it and much easier for our setup to keep you on the queue for a much longer period.

ifyalways: who is a millionaire

Must you be a millionaire before you'd live a happy,secured and fulfilling life ?

afam4eva:

Forget Steve jobs. I'm talking about Nigeria and not the US. What exactly will you be doing that you will become a millonaire in Nigeria by 23. Not that it's not possible or it's not happening but it's rare. by 23 you're just graduating from college.

jp philips:


i am surprised at your comment, most people i know leave the university at 21 (four yrs programme) if you didn't repeat any class and you started primary at six years or if you went for a five year programme but didn't do primary six, you will defn graduate at 21.

do NYSC at 22, anybody that gets a job of above 150k a month as a single person without carrying his "father's responsibilities" stand a chance of being a millionaire at 23.
yes i ve seen it happen. 100k in 10months is a millionaire.

the thing is that most dads see their wards to graduation at a very old age so the lucky early ones start shouldering those responsibilities and that is when to get the 1 million mark becomes difficult.

for someone that comes from an average home comme on!! @22 they share cubicles with school mates, some nice relatives will want you to start life with them, what else are you spending your money on?
transport, lunch, clothes, girlfriends? i don't know about now but during our own days it was pretty easy

afam4eva:

How many people actually graduate at 21 considering the fact that many people write jamb and other exams more than once. Plus the fact that the strike keep people in schoool longer than they are supposed to be.

@ all

In your pursuit of money, let happiness and peace of mind be your watch word.

Not all that glitters are Gold!!! Don't measure your achievement in life solely on monetary terms.

There are people in prison, mortuary and even in their graves all because they throw caution to the wind while in desperate search for money.

It is your right to make money but bear in mind that the Almighty must approve and bless it for it to materialise

A word is enough for the wise

afam4eva: The Nigerian climate does not encourage one to be a millonaire at such young age except you're into a bad crooked business.

novena ven: am 19+, 2 b 20 by October, am already one,not boasting,i'm into oil & gas trade,haulage(i ve got 10 trucks with dangote group),i own a pure water factory in ijegun Lagos,kumasi in ghana,8 hiace buses with abia line,setting up my own transport firm by December 2012 by GOD's grace.

Tinyemeka: It's very possible to be a millionaire by 24. But we don't always grow up as adolescents and teenagers, with the thought of making the first million by so and so age. Teenagers are primarily concerned with knowing the hottest artiste, fad phone, which clique to roll with and guy or babe to go out with. So that is why most people miss the target and by the time they begin to consider it, they are already over-aged.

I was a bit lucky to have age on my side. Finished Uni at 20 and by 25 I had crested the N1m mark. It should have been a year earlier sef but for the fact that I had other plans.

I wasn't born a silver-spooner. Far from it.

If you want to make your first million, no time is too late. But make sure it is acquired genuinely, that you do not misplace your priorities simply because you want to hit 1M and after making it, what happens next. Shift goals.

chucky234: Becoming a millionaire has no age limit,you can become a millionaire whatever age the opportunity present itself but honestly speaking its hard to become a millionaire at that age if you are not from a rich family or average family as you have to hustle,toy and sweat before you can grab that amount and that's why many choose short-cuts like yahoo,robbery and militants.
