In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down the crucial mistakes to avoid right after achieving millionaire status—and share what you should do instead. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or you’ve already crossed seven figures, this is a must-watch for building sustainable wealth. Rashad Bilal emphasizes the importance of not making large purchases (including a primary home or luxury cars) immediately after accumulating your first million. He explains why buying a single-family home can quickly turn that financial progress into new liabilities, and why it’s smarter to keep your cash accessible and prioritize acquiring assets that grow your wealth. Ian Dunlap offers practical steps for maintaining your financial edge—like avoiding “lifestyle creep” until your net worth reaches $11 million, staying debt-free, and focusing on investments that can never go to zero. He gets real about the emotional journey: the rush of making your first million fades, so it’s crucial to concentrate on growing your fortune and happiness, not just your bank balance. Troy Millings shares his personal blueprint, describing how he continued to live below his means and kept his housing costs minimal—even after hitting the million mark. Troy talks about strategic investing, not rushing into big purchases, and using discipline to keep growing his wealth. He encourages viewers to be hyper-vigilant about how they manage, respect, and protect their money, especially in uncertain times. The trio also touch on why certain classic status symbols—like diamonds and luxury watches—typically aren’t smart investments, especially with new technology and shifting markets transforming their value. *What you’ll learn in this clip:*
