How do i turn 20 bucks into a million?

Here's a way that you can turn $20 buck into a Million. When I left home in 1985, I had $10 bucks in my pocket. I joined the U.S. Army. I used the $10 bucks for cab fare to the MEPS center in Dallas to be sworn in.

After leaving the service, I went to college at Texas A&M and obtained a degree in Electrical Engineering. Then after working for around 12 years in industry I went back and obtained my Masters Degree in Business Administration. This netted me a 6 figure job after about a two year search.

Becuase of joining the service, my original $10 bucks netted me a college education at a total out of pocket expense of around $15K. In roughly 8 years, I will have earned well north of $1Million in salary. Much of which will be stored away in a retirement account.

If I look back to when I was 19 and the original $10 bucks that I invested in a cab ride, that $10 at retirement will net me well over $1Million in savings.

Now, for a quick math lesson. If you invest $10 when you are 20 and it turns into $1M when you are age 60 what was your return on your investment:

FV = PV(1+i)^n, thus, shuffling the terms around
nth_root of (FV/PV) - 1 = i
a quick Excel calculation comes up with = 33.35% return on your money.

Now the Credit card companies charge 26%-28%. I think I'm getting the better end of the deal.

Good Luck.

Invest it and wait for about three hundred years. Saving $2.00 a day will earn, in a normal savings account, a million dollars is forty years. You do the math.

blackjack table. let it ride. you just need to win 16 hands in a row...and you've turned $20 into 1.3 Million.

sure, winning 16 hands in a row is borderline impossible and if you lose any of them, you've turned $20 into $0....but i think its the most plausible way.

i know this one

what you want to do is buy something cheap, like a pen. Then if you see a randomer with a slightly better pen, you ask if they would like to swap. The you could swap this pen for something slightly better. Soon you'll have something worth a million... maybe

This will take ages but good luck with it.

Buy and sell. Keeping buying and selling.
Buy low and sell high.
For example, go to a tag sale and buy an old but good guitar for $20. Sell it on ebay or somewhere like that for say $50 or $75. Then invest the $75, and turn it to $200, etc.
Keep buying and selling your way up the ladder until you can afford an item that, in time, will reap a million. Such as a real estate holding.

You can't. Next!

Let's be specific, it can be done but not by someone who asks us for ideas. So one can but you can't.
