If you aren’t a millionaire yet, let’s play a game of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? If you’re already a millionaire, feel free to play along too. It’s one question, and you get three lifelines. Ready? Ok, let’s play!

  2. Reflecting on your financial goals, reviewing your investment accounts, and updating your financial plan.
  3. Maxing out your credit cards and “faking it till you make it.”
  4. Cashing out your 401(k) and throwing it all at Bitcoin
