Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people．Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts．While success is never a sure thing，the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective．

1.Vacations，cars，kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大塊) out of your paycheck．To maximize your savings，you need to minimize your expenses．Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings．

2.If you don't save，you'll never reach your goal．Obvious as this might seem，far too many people never even start to save．If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一種養(yǎng)老保險)，simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck，increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes．It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment．Finding the cash to stash (隱藏起)may be a challenge，particularly when you're young，but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches．

3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time，fixed income isn't likely to get the job done，and inflation (通貨膨脹) can take a big chunk out of your savings．Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk，but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns．For many of us，it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow．

4.Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur．If you are not prepared，these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts．While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road，you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do．

5.Your income should rise as time passes．You'll get raises，you'll change jobs，and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family．Every time more cash comes in to your pocket，you should increase the amount that you save．The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can．

A． Watch Your Spending．

B． Prepare for Rainy Days．

C． Start Saving．

D． Get Aggressive．

E． Save More．

F． Set the Goal．

G． Have patience．

What I Think of Boxing as a Sport

Boxing is a popular sport．Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches．It could be the toughest of all sports to survive．It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer．____1.____

It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport．When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer．This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves．____2.____ They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves．It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives．Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it．

____3.____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences．Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and, occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring．___4.____ They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out．

To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing．____5.___ We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society．I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport．

A． However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport．

B． Sometimes fans are rooting for a particular boxer．

C． In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target．

D． Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition．
