    To be perfectly blunt I need to begin making a lot of money with in the next few years

    not looking for a how to be a millionaire guide but rather looking for peoples thoughts and opinions on how you believe this can be best achieved

    This is an honest question and would be interested to hear peoples feedback. I feel peoples responses may make interesting reading for anyone in a similar position to myself

    I am not trying to make money in order to drive a Ferrari or socialise with celebrities. My motivation is to be able to provide a comfortable retirement for my parents who approaching retirement have had their entire pension wiped out directly and indirectly through the collapse of the banks and stock and property markets


    To give some background, currently
    • I am in my late twenties and hold a junior management job within a finance organisation
    • have a business related university degree
    • have a house in negative equity
    • have begun studying to be a chartered accountant and investment analyst in my own time
    • I have not always been the most career minded individual and probably drifted through quite some years of my adult life when times were good. Not to say I didn't work at any stage or was lazy but certainly did not always display this level of motivation. I guess this is quite normal however regret not gaining more qualifications to date but that is the past and I can only look forward. I have spent the last year to eighteen months working extremely hard climbing the corporate ladder so to speak however from conversations with more senior individuals within the company it appears that the level of wages to be achieved at the highest levels is not quite I had imagined though certainly nothing to turn your nose up at.

    Realistically I am willing to do almost anything and go anywhere in order to make real money. Were i not caught in negative equity I imagine I would be focused solely on starting a business however with the situation as it stands I am looking at taking an established career path also along the lines of becoming a CFO . I am not panicking and am trying to take a long term view but will need to have put aside a few hundred thousand at least within the next few years and want to be a millionaire aged forty

    Many Thanks in advance for your thoughts
