While it originated more than a decade ago, I wanted to add myself to the prestigious Budgets Are Sexy Million Dollar Club with a millionaire to-do list of my own.

What do I have to do to get myself to the Double Comma Club? Mostly, continue to do what I’ve been doing. But that’s boring. My list includes some of the basic rules that I’m currently abiding by, but also a few ambitious goals that might help me to expedite the process and diversity my portfolio.  

So why am I doing this? I think it’s important to not just set goals, but to write them down. Blogs, well-trafficked or not, are great for accountability purposes. I want to make sure that I have—in writing—the to-do list that makes sense to me at this very moment, so that I can both reference and ridicule it in the future. It was J. Money’s Net Worth reports that helped me to gamify the wealth-building process in the first place, and I’m counting on his millionaire to-do list to help keep me on track.

Without further ado, here’s my 10-step program toward achieving a million-dollar net worth.

The Impersonal Finances Millionaire To-Do List

1. Continue maxing out my 401k and Roth IRA, investing primarily in VTSAX
2. Continue making automatic payments to my brokerage account with additional funds (also invested in VTSAX)
3. Don’t spend so much time blogging that I forget to pay attention to my full-time job, which currently accounts for 99.9 percent of my annual income
4. Spend enough time blogging that I might someday be able to rely on my job for only 99.8 percent of my annual income
5. Avoid taking on consumer debt (this is a free space, as I don’t envision a scenario in which I deviate from this point)
6. Seek out feasible opportunities to dip my toe into the rental property market (finally a challenge!)
7. Supercharge my index fund investments with a small portion of Warren Buffett-like long-term individual stock investments (it’s that easy, right?)
8. Further educate myself on all things personal finance, particularly in areas of weakness that could provide future savings/earnings
9. Remain open-minded on potential side hustles that fit into my current schedule, no matter how stupid they might be
10. Avoid paying too much attention to my money, lest the pursuit of millionaire status render me an insufferable

There it is; that’s the plan. This list conveniently includes a bunch of other links to my own website on topics I’ve already touched upon. But then, this is admittedly a very self-serving piece of content. Through my vanity, I hope that you might be able to draw upon your own situation and consider if any of these goals can or should be applied to your financial plan.  

While I gave my reason for jotting down these millionaire goals, I didn’t mention why I want to be a millionaire to begin with. Why become a millionaire? Well, you know, duh. The answer, similar to most in the personal finance blogoworld, is the financial freedom and independence that it provides. The allure of JL Collins’ F-you Money concept is obvious. I don’t know exactly what I want to do with that financial freedom just yet, but that’s a topic for another day.

Hopefully, in a handful or many handfuls of years, I’ll start working on my own Billionaire to-do list. But a million bucks seems like a good place to start.
