如何在美国成为百万富翁？
翠屏峰
看到这个题目，一定会觉得陈腐不堪，勤家持家致富这样的说法，在国人中早已过时多年，在美国提起，大概更让人好笑了。其实不然，前不久我刚刚参加了一个讲座，其中演讲人之一Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ在今日美国非常走红，演讲的题目就是他的最新畅销书“自动百万富翁”（Ａｕｔｏｍａｔｉｃ Ｍｉｌｌｉｏｎａｉｒｅ）。里边的中心内容就是提倡勤俭持家致富，他本人还于最近被雅虎网站受聘为财经专栏作家。他讲的致富之道和方法对我来说虽然时间上是晚了，但我觉得对家庭理财还是很有启发，这里把我听后的感想写在这里，供有兴趣者参考。
（一）在美国致富有哪些途径？
人人都喜欢有钱致富，成为百万富翁。但怎么样才能致富成为百万富翁呢？原来在中国时，经常听到或在报上看到致了富的人介绍经验说：要致富首先要依靠政策。也就是说只有依靠政府和政策才能致富，这话换著理解就是政府和政策想让谁富谁就会富。我不知道这该算正当的致富道路还是不正当的手段，但至少在美国是一点也不灵。
在美国要致富的话，就正当途径来说，大致有下面一些途径：
继承财产：如果你的家庭很有钱，可以继承财产而致富，但出生不可以选择，大多数人望尘莫及；
通过婚姻：找一个有钱的丈夫或者娶一个富的老婆，也可以致富，但这对多数人也没有希望；
赌博中彩：买彩票赌博，如果运气好中了彩的话，可以瞬间一夜致富。这是很多美国人的致富之梦，有许多人乐此不疲，希望能赶上好运气；
打官司：如果有机会的话，去告人打关司也可以致富；
开公司当总裁或者做公司的高级主管，碰上好的公司，也可以迅速致富。
但上面这些途径对于绝大部分人都不适用，上面的各条途径，是可遇而不可求。就以买彩票中彩的事来说，每天都会看到媒体在炒作，而且也确实每天都有人中彩而突然成为百万甚至千万亿万富翁，但对于每个买彩票的人来说，中大奖的几率不会比普通人们遭雷打击的几率更高。至于找个挣钱多花不完的好工作，又不是谁的梦寐以求呢？只可惜人稠位少，很难轮得上。对于上班族的工薪阶层来说，Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ 认为只有一条成为百万富翁的道路，那就是勤俭持家，而且是维一行之有效人人可为的方法，他称之为“自动百万富翁”（Ａｕｔｏｍａｔｉｃ Ｍｉｌｌｉｏｎａｉｒｅ）。
（二）普通工薪在美国能成为百万富翁吗？
对这个问题，Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ的答案是肯定的。在他的书里和讲座中，他讲了一个现实中真实的故事。一对５０多岁的夫妇，准备提前退休，那年前他们夫妇的工资全年总收入是＄５３，９４６，那时候那样的工资收入不能算太低，但也绝对不是很高，但这样的一对夫妇是怎么样有能力提前退休的呢？下面请看一下他们的家庭资产状况：
房屋资产：他们拥有两栋房子，其中第一栋房子是在结婚不久就买下的，贷款早已付清，价值＄４５０，０００；在买了第一栋房子之后，他们把３０年的贷款２０年内还清，这样房子资产就属于自己了。在此期间，等经济宽裕后攒出可以付出头款的钱以后，他们又买了第二栋房子作为出租房屋资产，由租金收入来支付第二个房子的贷款，到５０多岁时，贷款也已经付清，价值＄３２５，０００。房屋资产总值＄７７５，０００。
退休帐号资产：３０多年里他们夫妇４０１ｋ总值积累＄６１０，０００.个人退休金帐号＄７２，０００，总值＄６８２，０００；
债券总值：＄１６０，０００；
银行现金存款：＄６２，５００；
上述各项总值＄１，６７９，５００，再加上家庭的其他资产，并且没有债务，５２岁的主人公家庭资产总值超过两百万。孩子都已经长大成人，根据目前的资产状况，出租房屋还在继续有租金收入，他们的投资张号上的债卷每年也有固定的收入，其他投资帐号也在继续增值，按当时的经济和物价消费情况，这对夫妇完全可以提前退休，实现经济上的自由，干些自己喜欢的事情，去享受人生。
上面就是美国的一位收入并不高的普通工薪家庭靠勤俭持家成为百万富翁的例子。
事实上，这个美国梦在美国的工薪阶层人人都可以通过勤俭持家实现。
（三）牛奶咖啡效应（Ｌａｔｔｅ Ｆａｃｔｏｒ）
对于上面的例子来说，有两个问题要回答，首先之一是，对于普通工薪家庭来说，每月要靠预算来过日子，稍有变化，就会入不敷出，那能省出那么多的钱来？第二是即使每月能省出上百元钱来，离百万之数是杯水车薪，能管用么？通过牛奶咖啡效应（Ｌａｔｔｅ Ｆａｃｔｏｒ）的计算就可以回答上面的两个问题，而且答案是肯定的。
那么什么是牛奶咖啡效应（Ｌａｔｔｅ Ｆａｃｔｏｒ）呢？
当Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ问及一位普通的工薪人员的每天消费情况时，他发现人们的一个典型的消费现象，每天早上，不论穷人富人，都会一早起来，就到店里买一杯牛奶咖啡，一块蛋糕；休息时间会到自动机器上买一瓶果汁，再加上一些点心等等，花费可列出如下：
Ｄｏｕｂｌｅ Ｎｏｎｆａｔ Ｌａｔｔｅ ＄３.５０；
Ｎｏｎｆａｔ Ｍｕｆｆｉｎ ＄１.５０；
Ｊｕｉｃｅ ＄３.９５
Ｊｕｉｃｅ Ｂｏｏｓｔ ＄０.５０
ＰｏｗｅｒＢａｒ ＄１.７５
总计Ｔｏｔａｌ ＄１１.２０
这时候还没有到午饭时间呢。午饭的花费就更不用说了。
在这里的例子中，如果是在家里把这些准备好，而不到店里和机器上去买的话，每个人每天省出＄１０是完全可行的，这样每周７天就是＄７０，每个月则会省下＄３００，这样日积月累的话，并且把这些钱合理投资，按保守平均１０％的回报率，我们可以得到下面的一组数据：
１ ｙｅａｒ ＝＄３，７７０
２ ｙｅａｒ ＝＄７，９３４
５ ｙｅａｒ ＝＄２３，２３１
１０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄６１，４５３
１５ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄１２４，３４１
３０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄６７８，１４６
４０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄１，８９７，２２４
也就是说，每天节约＄１０的话，假如到退休时有３０年的话，会有近７０多万美元，假如到退休时还有４０年的话，会有近２百万美元。对每个家庭，如果真要做的话，每天结余１０到２０美元不是太难的事情。那么如果是每天＄２０美元的话，按照上面的计算，我们很容易就会得到：
１ ｙｅａｒ ＝＄７，５３９
１０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄１２２，９０７
３０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄１，３５６，２９３
４０ ｙｅａｒｓ ＝＄３，７９４，４４８
从上面的计算可以看出，每个家庭只要从早做起，勤俭持家，就会成为百万富翁，早日实现经济上的自由。
（四）显富与致富
通常来说，一般认为挣钱多就会富裕这是再正确不过的道理了，但事实上也不完全如此。在美国，你完全可以遇到这样的例子，一个挣很高工资的人，生活方式如下：
戴著分期付款的名牌金表；
开著分期付款的名牌跑车；
出入有很高贷款的住房；
信用卡上还有借款，每月付最低数目，付高达超过１０％的利息，再加上，还有：
学生贷款；
离婚子女赡养费用等等；
这样下来，虽然挣的工资很高，但每月也要靠预算才能平衡家庭收支出入，并没有多少结余。这种情况表面上可能看起来很富裕，Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ认为是典型的ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ－ｒｉｃｈ，实际上在家庭财务上并不是成功的，远没有在前面提到的那一对虽然挣钱不多但却拥有百万资产而没有负债的夫妇在经济上成功。值得一提的是几年前马塞诸塞州有一位很成功的政治家由副州长竞选州长时，当时媒体就提到他虽然挣有高薪，但却债务累累，以至于人们对他的信任产生了疑问，尽管此公竞选州长成功，后来成为美国驻加大使，但在当时却轰动一时。
有人提出衡量一个人事业成功除去用薪水的多寡以外，还应当加上积累资产能力的指标，如果以前面提到的牛奶咖啡效应例子中的１０％的存款为标度的话，我们可用下面的计算和标准来衡量。假如一位现年５０岁的工薪人士或家庭，当年的收入是１０万美元的话，以１０％的工资为积累，每年一万美元，３０年应当为１.８８百万美元，考虑到工资的增长因素，上面的计算之数再除以２，也应当是１百万美元才可以算作事业和家庭财务上的成功。
上面的数据我们还可以用下面的公式来估算：
积累资产总值＝现在年薪 ｘ （现在年龄?２０）／３
积累资产总数等于所有资产总值减去总负债务。 举例来说，假如一位现年５０岁的工薪人士或家庭，现年的收入是１０万美元的话，根据上面的公式可计算为：
１０ ｘ （５０－２０）／３ ＝１００万美元
而同样工资只有４０岁的工薪人士或家庭，则为：
１０ ｘ （４０－２０）／３ ＝６７万美元
如果超过上面的计算值，就表明达到了１０％收入积累，依我看在财务上就是很了不起的成功的了。请注意我这里在上面的公式里计算时，不是从开始工作的年限算起，而是不管从什么时候开始工作，一律按年龄２０算起。另外上面的计算一律只包括合法收入。
上面的计算标准看起来不算高，可能很不起眼，但要做到的话并不容易，特别是在追求高收入和高消费的现代社会里，实际上更加不容易．在美国刚刚公布的财政数据里，人们的存款率越来越少，今年正式达到零存款率。
就家庭财产积累数目来说，世界首富国家美国的３亿多人中，不计算主要居住房屋在内家庭净资产总值超过１百万美元者今年有８９０万户，这些算作美国的最富裕家庭的年收入高达平均１２万，平均年龄５６岁，可能不足总人口的１０％．较富裕家庭有２４５０万户，他们的家庭资产不包括主要住房为１０万到５０万美元，年龄平均５０岁，家庭平均年收入约６万５千美元。上周最新公布的数据，美国工薪人士总平均每小时工资收入达到＄１６美元，年薪总平均３万３千美元。去年各大公司的总裁平均收入高达５百万美元，其中居首位的是雅虎总裁，达几百个百万美元。
（五）从早做起，从少做起
从上面的计算里，假如一位３０岁的工薪人士或家庭，年薪１０万，按上面的计算，应当为３３万美元，但是如果是刚刚工作一年的话，虽然工资不算低，但要达到上面的指标却也是非常的不容易，原因在于时间效应。我们再看下面的一个常见的例子：
假如一位人士从１９岁开始，每年省３千美元，按１０％的年回报率计算，到２６岁共投资８年后停止继续投入，到６５岁退休时为１.５５百万美元；
另一位人士没有从１９岁开始，而是晚８年从２７岁时开始，每年节省３千美元，同样的投资回报率，他需要从２７岁一直到６５岁每年都要投资３千美元，才在６５岁时达到１.３２百万美元，比上面的那一位还要少２０万美元；
更有甚者，假如是从１５岁做零工开始就每年投资３千美元的话，只需要从１５岁到１９岁共只有５年时间，以后就不再需要继续投资，到６５岁时，可达到１.６１百万美元，比上面两者的钱都多。
从上面的例子可见，家庭财务资金积累，关键还不是挣钱多少，而是要从早做起，从少做起。这结论我也一直有点怀疑，但上面的例子确实是如此。实际上这说起来容易，做起来却很难，人们往往的想法是，我现在挣钱少，没有办法也没有必要，等我以后挣钱多了，自然就会有钱积攒了，但实际的情形是，随著工资的增长，开销也不断地增加，而且开销增长的速度往往会超过工资的增长速度，工资增长了，钱却越来越不够花，至少我的经验是这样。
（六）挣了钱之后，先付自己
那么怎么样才能做到这一点呢？在美国许多人就像美国公司的运作一样，依靠于财务预算和平衡。但Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂａｃｈ认为对家庭财务来说这不会工作。事实上，财务预算就象美国政府和公司一样，不会帮助你攒下钱，而只会帮助你决定应当借多少钱和负多少债务。 要想财务成功的话，唯一的办法就是挣了钱之后，先付自己，再付别人。
想想我们在美国工作，每月下来，工资一到手，甚至还没有到手，该付的账单早就排成一长串了：联邦税、州税、房产税、财产税、地方税、医疗保险、汽车保险、银行贷款或者房租、学费贷款、车贷款、水费、垃圾费、电费、油／气费、电话／上网费、捐献、种草肥料费、剪草费、铲雪费、渡假账单、订报、房屋维修、信用卡张单等等，这还不是全部的账单，按照财务预算平衡方法的话，往往很容易就会超支，别的不说，就拿汽油费和取暖费两项，一场卡翠那飓风，就会令年初做好的财务预算不能平衡。使用信用卡来补缺的话，医得眼前痛，剜却心头肉，只会使情况更加严重。
说起来美国联邦政府收税的故事可以帮助我们来理解这一过程。在以前，联邦政府收税不是采用预扣税方法，而是采用年终赋税办法，这样人们挣了钱之后，可以先干其他用处，到年底再来交税，但联邦政府发现，人们到了年底往往已经把钱花光了，而没有钱交税，因而后来就改成了预扣税制度，人们挣了钱之后，先付税款，然后才能花用，这样就不存在没有钱交税的问题了。
我们也应当从美国预扣税的过程中学会处理家庭财务的办法，那就是挣了钱之后，先付自己，然后再去付别人，这样就会自动积累起家庭财富来。
（七）把钱放到什么地方
最后也是最为至关重要的问题是，辛辛苦苦积攒下来的钱，应当放到那里，才能得到超过１０％的回报率，下面是一些途径：
（１）公司４０１ｋ退休计划
对于家庭财务资金积累，公司４０１ｋ退休计划应当是第一选择。它有如下的好处：第一是当年挣的钱进入计划里，不用付个人收入所得税，而且投资挣得钱也不用交税，直到退休取出钱 来时候才需要交税，如果比较普通交税的投资和４０１ｋ计划的投资的话，假如是按３０％的税率的话，在一年期间里，有１０％投资回报率的普通保税收入投资＄１只有＄０.７７，而在４０１ｋ退休计划里却有＄１.１０，二者差值＄０.３３；第二，许多公司为了鼓励员工参加退休计划，往往还会再补加一定比例，这样就更加有利，公司这一部分的钱等于是免费白拿， 不拿白不拿。 一般来说在３０年的期间里，投资４０１ｋ退休计划要比普通报税投资最后总值会高出一倍以上还多。比如３０年里投资总值１０万在普通投资账号上为６６万美元的话，在４０１ｋ退休计划里就会高达１７４万美元。
对于４０１ｋ退休计划，应当尽可能地投到最大。２００５年４９岁以下者最大允许额为１万４千，５０岁以上者为１万８千；２００６年４９岁以下者最大允许额为１万５千，５０岁以上者为２万。
（２）住房
是交租金？还是交房屋贷款？我们经常因为各种原因会对买房子踌躇不定，而是选择租房子，租房子只是省事而已，但实际上却是在替房东买房子。与其这样，还不如尽早为自己买房子。而且从长期来说，房地产一定会随著经济的发展而增值，是一种相对来说风险低而回报率高的投资途径。
现在人们经常听到谈论房地产是不是泡沫的问题，对于买自用住房来说，其实这个问题不用担忧，从来都是尽可能地越早买越好。一个例子是，如果从９６年开始就担心房屋市场已经超值，而等待房价大掉去买的人，大概等了１０多年时机也不会来临，其实从９６年到现在，即使不算房价上涨，如果是１５年贷款的话，大概也快付清了。
（３）个人退休账号
除去公司４０１ｋ退休计划和自家住房外，如果还有精力的话，最好的选择就是个人退休账号了，也就是普通ＩＲＡ和Ｒｏｔｈ ＩＲＡ．其中Ｒｏｔｈ ＩＲＡ适合于现在所得税率较低的情形，而普通ＩＲＡ最适合于现在所得税率较高但还没有超过限度的情形。
（４）出租房屋
安排了上面的资金投资，如果还有钱财精力的话，购买出租房屋大概是最合适的投资选择了，在最近的１０多年里，投资房地产更是效益良好，一般来说，投资房地产要比其他途径比如股票等要安全一些，但其中所包含的风险也一定要牢记在心，特别是购买房屋不管是自用住房还是出租地产，都大部分采用银行贷款，贷款的好处是在上涨市场中往往使投资增值率提高，但在下降的市场中，也会使亏损增加，这一点上，投资房地产和用借来的钱买股票并没有什么不同，只是因为近十多年的良好房地产市场，使人们认为这一点好像不存在一样。
举例来说，假如购买５０万元的房屋，投资头款１０％为５万元，假如市场价格只掉１０％，就会使其头款５万元投资血本无归，这一点今日人们大概没有这样的思想准备，就象２０００前的股票市场一样。就目前的房地产投资来说，未来的几年里可能不会有象过去的５年里那样好的回报率了，随著联准会不断地提升利率，美国房地产热的降温大概是势在必行了。
（５）应急基金
一个家庭，应当有一定的应急基金。过去的时候，山西商人在外面赚了钱，就换成银子，回家埋在后院里，在当时的条件下，这到确是集财和应急的好办法。山西商人就靠这一条为基础作为后盾，日积月累，辛勤经营，１８和１９世纪几百年里在晋中一带打造了中国的金融华尔街，左右著中国的金融市场。我还听说过许多故事，当年靠在后院里不仅埋银子而且埋粮食，竟过了１０多年还能帮助度过上个世纪６０年代的三年劫难饥饿的。其实当时山西票号虽然是家族经营，但经营方式和管理已经非常现代化，包括象支票、连锁经营、投资财股、员工股票期权（身股）、物资期权等等金融方式，几百年后才在西方华尔街出现和发展，只可惜中国的政治左右一切，几百年发展起来的中国金融业的精华山西钱庄和票号也就很轻易地被人为扼杀万劫不复，现在只剩下一些古迹供人们凭吊了，今日游览平遥古城和太谷的话，还可以找到当年票号和钱庄的痕迹，现在的山西农业大学花园般的校址，就是侵占原来有名的金融世家孔家的旧居。
话扯得远了，在现代社会里，后院埋银子的办法不需要了，但应急基金的概念还是需要的，一般来说，应当有４到６个月的房屋贷款大约１万多现金为宜。应急基金也不应当太多，太多了就会降低投资效果。无论是短期还是定期，在银行里存钱过多的话就现代观念来说都不是最佳的投资组合。
顺便一提的是，在报纸上经常刊登出卖的比如超过１０％高利率的存款，实际上和普通银行的存款完全不同，是风险非常高的投资方式，不适合于作应急基金的存钱之处。
（６）进入资本股票市场投资
如果还有剩余资金的话，投资股票市场大概是势在必行的了。实际上就我们前面提到的退休账号来说，如果离退休还有相当时间的话，也一定是以投到股票市场上最为合适。从长期来说，由于经济的增长，股票价值一定会随经济的增长而增值，长期风险实际上很小。尽管这一结论对于单一股票来说并不完全合适，但对于股票共同基金和指数股票却是完全对的。一般来说，要想得到超过１０％的投资回报率的话，股票可能是最合适的投资钱财的办法了。
同样，尽管对于单个公司来说，小公司的股票是非常危险的，但对于共同基金和指数股票来说，小公司的回报率和危险性则一般优于大公司。这一点，从Ｆｉｄｅｌｉｔｙ Ｌｏｗ Ｐｒｉｃｅｄ Ｓｔｏｃｋ基金最近１０多年里包括２０００年的股票市场泡沫破灭在内平均年增长率高达１７％可以得到验证，假如１９９０年投资该基金１千元的话，到今年接近翻４番超过１万元以上。另外的一个例子是，假如１９９８年投资到小公司的市场指数股票上，到２００５年增长可能为３倍，而同时期的大公司指数股票可能增长还不到一倍，这主要是从整体来说，大公司的运营效率要低于小公司。特别是经济不景气的时候就更是如此。
至于我们上面提到的４０１ｋ等退休计划中的投资，一般以投到分散结构的以股票为主的组合为宜，但为安全和保险起见，应尽量避免买本公司的单一股票。构买退休计划就是出于长期目的为了保险老有所养，而单一公司的股票不能达到这一目的，别说是象几年前ＥＮＲＯＮ那样的公司会使员工的多年辛苦几夜间付诸东流，就是象ＧＭ那样大名鼎鼎的世界汽车业第一大公司，在过去运营良好的时候人们那能会想到会有今天几乎接近破产的境地。
（八）目前的股票市场形势
就当前市场的股票市场来说，今年以来市场平平，不上不下，正负方面都没有大的惊喜。下面是到１１月８日为止今年的股票市场业绩：
道３０家工业股指数收盘１０７６６，年内持平，增长０％；
道２０家运输股指数收盘４１４１，年内增长９％；
道１５家公用事业股指数收盘３９６，年内增长１８％；
道综合（Ｃｏｍｐｏｓｉｔｅ）指数收盘３６１２，年内增长６％；
Ｓ＆Ｐ１００家企业指数收盘５７５，年内持平，增长０％；
Ｓ＆Ｐ５００家企业指数收盘１２４８，年内增长３％；
Ｓ＆Ｐ４００家中型（ＭｉｄＣａｐ）企业指数收盘７２９，年内增长１０％；
纽约证交所（ＮＹＳＥ）综合（Ｃｏｍｐｏｓｉｔｅ）指数收盘７６３５，年内增长５％；
Ｒｕｓｓｅｌｌ２０００小型（ＳｍａｌｌＣａｐ）企业指数收盘６７２，年内增长３％；
Ｗｉｌｓｈｉｒｅ５０００全美企业指数收盘１２４９５，年内增长４％；
ＮＡＳＤＡＱ综合（Ｃｏｍｐｏｓｉｔｅ）指数收盘２２２７，年内增长２％；
费城半道体指数收盘４７８，年内增长１０％；
高盛Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ指数收盘２０７，年内增长１６％；
美洲（ＡＭＥＸ）生物技术指数收盘６８５，年内增长２６％；
东京Ｎｉｋｋｅｉ指数收盘４６８，年内增长２７％。
从上面的指数看，近几个月来股票市场表现良好，已经收复失地，如果没有意外的话，预计今年的投资市场还会有象去年一样不错的收成。令人感觉不安的是，由于飓风的影响，石化产品短缺，会带动整体物价的上涨，这样联准会何时停止增加利率还遥遥无期。但可喜的是９月和１０月股票平稳度过，加上经济形势良好，投资人正看好市场，特别是目前资金有从房地产建筑商，石油原材料等保守性投资向有进取性的技术股和金融股等方面转移的迹象。其中ＭＳＦＴ和ＩＮＴＣ，ＹＨＯＯ等重新开始受到投资人亲睐。最近的表现更为引人注目。希望今年的第四季度里能表现良好。就世界股票市场来说，一个重要的迹象是，日本市场持续表现良好，今年以来继续上升２５％以上，有的投资人正涌入日本市场，寄希望于这个信号是日本长达１５年熊市的结束。
