First think about what it is you actually want to do with that money.

Then do that thing instead of trying to make a million.

Want to have a sailing yacht? You can go as crew and sail on yachts as much as your heart desires and pretty much anywhere you want. I mean actually piloting the yacht at the steering wheel. You'll had enough of sailing in much shorter time than it takes to make a million.

Want to be a millionaire so that you can sleep with the most beautiful girls? You can do that by going to whores for much less than a million, if you're only focusing on the money route.

Want to be a millionaire so you can live on the beach? You can live on the beach for much less, as evident by millions of poor people living on the beach.

And you can usually have the highest quality of anything it is you desire in the world, for a fair price.

Want to be a millionaire to have a Ferrari? If you want to go fast you can have a sports motorcycle for a fraction of that cost, and much more fun to ride.

Whatever it is that your million bucks can bring you, you can have it easier if you clear your mind and ask yourself what it is you really want.

I upvoted you because it's a great comment.

But to answer your question of what it is I want.

One thing I want is to be able to travel the world and visit certain locations known for their historic value. Visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, because of my interest in that period of history. This is just one example of a place I'd love to visit.

But...

As I write this I realize you're right and you don't need a million dollars for that. But I don't have enough boney to fulfill that dream either, thus, a million dollars would be nice to have.

Just want to say this is such a great comment. I'll be thinking about it for a while.
