If you are working at becoming a millionaire, perhaps you dream about the mansion you will buy and the servants you will have, the vacations you will take and the interests you will pursue.

My current goal is to see 50 countries by 50 and this trip will definitely help with that. I always seem to come back from a vacation a slightly different person as a result. In fact, for those of you who don’t know, I am a huge traveler. I think I am at 29 right now. All in all it is going to be an amazing trip.

Please don’t confuse this money with vacation money or new furniture money. Once your finances are in order, your goal should be to increase that number to an amount that you feel is sufficient. When an emergency happens, you use the cash in the fund, instead of your credit card.
