While we've all dreamt of countless jaunts to far-away destinations and splashing the cash on the luxuries we've always wanted, chances are you're resigned to this never becoming more than a daydream (despite continuing to get a scratchcard every time you go out to buy milk). But becoming a millionaire isn't really as difficult and unachievable as you might think. Lots of people prove each and every year that you don't have to be a banker, lottery winner or be born with a silver spoon in your mouth to build up your wealth to seven figures. So, here's our ultimate guide to getting your hands on that million by 30. Let's get rich! Ok, so let's start with a bit of a disclaimer: a million quid just ain't what it used to be. It's getting easier to become a millionaire with every day that passes, thanks to things like inflation. And for many budding rich-listers, being wealthy is more a question of lifestyle and not having to worry about your finances, than the number in your bank account. To live like a millionaire, you don't actually need to have a million pounds in the bank – 99% of 'millionaires' don't. But to actually be a millionaire, you'll most definitely have to be on top of your finances and investments! Being a millionaire can mean all sorts of things but, in this guide, we're essentially going to map out a realistic path to building up your wealth to beyond £1,000,000. We've suggested a few ' quick ' ways to becoming a millionaire at the end for those who just can't wait... but stick with us for the foolproof guide first! Set goals The money game is a long slog – cash doesn't grow on trees. Before you embark on your millionaire challenge, it's vital that you have a clear life plan. If you're serious about this then you need to know how to achieve it, not just dream it! You need to work out a feasible and realistic route to making your millions that draws on your skills, experience and ambitions. When it comes to setting income goals, you also have to think about when you'd like to retire. Most retirees are 'pensioners' because, well, they're living off of their pension which at least covers living costs. But you want to live like a millionaire, right? To get to this level of income without working requires a fairly sizeable pension, plus a good number of other streams of passive income being earned every month on your capital assets. If you want to really live it up post-work, it's important to set an income goal before you retire that doesn't require you to work anymore. This number will vary for everyone, but whatever it is, pick one and work to it. Instead of retiring at 70, you might find you're able to retire at 58 because you've reached your goal. By the time you give up work, your investment portfolio becomes your income portfolio. We go into more detail about how investing will help you become a millionaire below. Budget every month Practising some basic budgeting and money-saving skills as soon as possible will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life, so don't just write it off as 'something you'll do another day'! If you haven't already got it, download our free Student Money Cheat Sheet – there are loads of great tips in there to get you started. Sticking to your budget takes discipline, but the sooner you get into the millionaire mindset of buying assets instead of liabilities, the better. Most millionaires don't run around buying Lamborghinis all the time while cracking open the champagne at breakfast. In fact, that's part of the reason why they're millionaires in the first place – instead of splashing the cash at every given opportunity, they've allowed their money to grow. They say that "a fool and his cash are soon parted", and that's a fairly decent motto to live by if you want to join the super-rich. Start as soon as possible Time is a valuable asset, especially when it comes to saving and investing money. So the sooner you start, the better chances you have of becoming a millionaire. Use any spare time you have (aside from studying and partying) to earn some cash. It's a good idea to land a part-time job, but it can also pay off to be more creative. Check out our quick ways to make money guide, or why not start up a small business of your own if you have something to offer? Not only will this pull in some additional cash, but you'll be testing out your entrepreneurial skills before you've even graduated. There's no getting away from the fact that you'll have to repay your Student Loan, but not straight away (if ever). It's not like other debt and won't affect your future goals of raking in the big bucks. And you might find that sometimes you do have a few quid to spare, especially when the loans come in. Get into the habit of putting this into the savings account that makes the most financial sense to you (easy access is best at this stage) – you'll be surprised how much interest you can earn on it during your time at uni. At the same time, remember to cut down on spending. Avoid having a car and think carefully before splashing out on big-ticket items if you don't really need them. Put money in a tax-free ISA One of the reasons why people will never become millionaires is simply because they don't know how to. There are lots of competing options out there fighting for you to invest in, but you need to think smart and do your homework on what's available to you and what will give you the best return. In the UK, tax-free cash ISAs are one of the best ways to consistently build up your savings. If you don't yet have an ISA, get one now! Why get a tax-free cash ISA? Every year, each person in the UK over the age of 16 has an allowance of money (£20,000 maximum) they can put in a tax-free savings account, called an ISA. Once your money's in the account, it stays tax-free, FOREVER. If you don't use up your ISA allowance in a particular year, you lose that opportunity. So if you've got a little bit of spare money lying around, you should absolutely, definitely, 100%, put it in an ISA. You can move to a different ISA provider every year if you want to, so shop around for the best rate. The top interest rates are usually a couple of percent, so if you deposit £20,000 in one of the best ISAs, you'll earn a few hundred quid over the year in tax-free interest. Now, you may argue that basic-rate taxpayers get £1,000 of interest tax-free each year, so there's no point in opening an ISA right now. Indeed, if a basic-rate taxpayer chose to invest £20,000 in a 2% savings account instead of an ISA with the same interest rate, they'd still receive £400. But this tip isn't for the here and now – it's for the future. Say you sell your business, or get a significant pay rise. All of a sudden you're not a basic-rate taxpayer, and your tax-free interest allowance drops to £500 or possibly nothing, depending on your earnings. All that interest you're earning is going to be taxed in a big way. So, given that there are no real disadvantages to keeping your money in an ISA instead of a regular savings account, and some fairly significant advantages, we'd say it's a no-brainer.

Read More »Invest in yourself One of the most profitable investments you'll ever make is investing in yourself. And we don't mean getting the most expensive haircuts and designer outfits – we mean investing in your skills, mindset and knowledge. Developing your skills can help you climb the corporate ladder and make it possible to create passive income streams outside of your job. Plus, working on your mindset and knowledge around money allows you to make better financial decisions that will set you up for a better future. We have a list of books about money to get you started. And let's not forget to look after your body and mind. Creating financial freedom is fantastic, but if your physical and mental health are suffering, it's hard to enjoy the millionaire lifestyle. Work in an industry that you love and pays well In order to maximise your income, you should try to secure a well-paid graduate job. Having said that, think carefully about the career you want to embark on: one you will enjoy and can progress quickly in. It's worth knowing that graduate schemes are normally the best way to kick off your career on a high earner early on, as many companies offer graduate salaries of £40,000 a year (if not more)! If you're finding it hard to get on to the career ladder, pick up a part-time role for the time being while you job hunt. And, if you're really struggling to find any paid work, don't be afraid to sign on at the Job Centre for a short period. Start your own business The fast-track method of becoming rich in your twenties is to start a high-growth, high-return business with a plan to exit within five years or so. But, of course, there's absolutely no guarantee you'll even make a penny, and the risk can often outweigh your other options of building a long-term income. It's important to have a well-researched idea and a solid business plan before you start, as well as a clear picture of how you'll support yourself when there's no money coming in. Having said all this, there may never be a better time to start in business than as a graduate. Your responsibilities are minimal and even if it all goes Pete Tong, you've got a wealth of experience to build on and take forward.

If you're looking for inspiration, you can start with our own list of business ideas. Invest in the stock market using index-trackers If you're not familiar with the stock market, it can all seem a little bit daunting. Index-tracker funds are really straightforward and consistently beat the vast majority of actively-managed hedge funds over the long term. In simple terms, these funds are a collective investment that follows the movements of a whole financial market (e.g. the FTSE 100). Advantages of index-tracker investments Very low-cost (automated trading does away with expensive traders)
