If you want to become a millionaire, you should save this amount every day.

We all dream of Mrs. Coco on our left and right arm. Or a vacation home in Ibiza. Or Vespas in four different colors.

Money, it's a strange thing. Intangible and yet so important. For everyone. Well, there are always people who firmly grumble that ‘wealth does not make you happy’ and who say that if they became millionaires, they would ‘just keep camping on Vlieland every summer’. No problem of course. But yes, the fact remains: it does save you a lot of worries.

And some don't dream of tents, but of yachts and sunny places. Yet there is hope, because all you need to also belong to the club of the wealthy is patience. Namely: if you start saving now and set aside something every day, you will be a millionaire by the time you are 65. Okay, that sounds achievable. So what should we save, then? It's not that much, so you hardly notice it.

If you are 30 years old, you should set aside 6 euros and 10 cents every day to be well off by the time you are 65. If you start saving enthusiastically from the age of 25, you only need to save 3.45 euros per day for later. And are you 20 springs young? Good job, because then you only need to save 1.92 euros per day. For later then, not already for that Chanel bag on your arm. No no, be a little frugal then. And open that extra savings account, set up automatic debits, and especially never look at it again. You won't believe what you experience after a few years.

For the smart ones among us: just saving this daily amount is not enough. At some point, you need to invest your wealth (for example, with a good bank) in a place where you get 12 percent interest per year. Suppose you have already saved more than 10,000 euros, then it makes sense to do this. So okay, there is still some work to be done, but once you start enthusiastically, the rest is peanuts. Bring on that Quote 500 (in 40 years then, okay).
