Who wants to be a millionaire? #TBT

Today's blog post was originally published two years ago. but I already shared it late last year!

That was like the biggest show on TV just a few years ago. According to Wikipedia:

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (often informally called Millionaire) is an American television game show based on the same-titled British program and developed for the United States by Michael Davies. The show featuares a quiz competition in which contestants attempt to win a top prize of $1,000,000 by answering a series of multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty (although, for a time, most of the questions were of random difficulty). The program has endured as one of the longest-running and most successful international variants in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise. 
The original U.S. version aired on ABC from August 16, 1999, to June 27, 2002, and was hosted by Regis Philbin. The daily syndicated version of the show began airing on September 16, 2002, and was hosted for eleven seasons by Meredith Vieira until May 31, 2013. Later hosts included Cedric the Entertainer in the 2013–14 season, Terry Crews in the following season (2014–15), and Chris Harrison, who began hosting on September 14, 2015. On May 17, 2019, it was reported that the syndicated show has been canceled, with a final episode set for May 31, 2019. 
As the first U.S. network game show to offer a million-dollar top prize, the show made television history by becoming one of the highest-rated game shows in the history of American television. The U.S. Millionaire has won seven Daytime Emmy Awards, and TV Guide ranked it No. 6 in its 2013 list of the 60 greatest game shows of all time.

There's still time to catch the final episode!

Even though this is really interesting, this post is really about Be a Millionaire Day and to tell you about the Millionaire Money game. From the Days of the Year website:

If you’re an aspiring millionaire, and who isn’t, why not celebrate Be a Millionaire Day by following the advice of the most successful sports performance coaches. Use visualization techniques to see yourself surrounded by luxury, free of monetary concerns, and living your life on your terms. Then get down to business – get financial advice, find extra sources of income, save, live within your means and commit to becoming a millionaire.

And the Millionaire Money game helps with the visualization:

"The Millionaire Money Game Will Expand Your Prosperity Consciousness Forever...
In just 5 mins a day you'll become more magnetic to money!"

It costs nothing to sign up and you'll receive your first letter from the Universe in about 10 minutes. Each day, for 16 days, you'll receive a new letter from the Universe with increasing amounts of imaginary money. The idea is to pretend to spend that money on something (note...it's just imaginary money, so don't really try to spend it). The first time I played, I went to an outdoor furniture store and picked out some furniture I liked. I wrote the amount down in a checkbook register just for that purpose.

After a few days, I drove down to Scotts Valley and went to an exotic car dealership to "buy" this Jaguar XKE:


Here's what the first letter says:

Dear Rick 

Today's deposit: 


____________________________________________ 

Amount: $1,000 - One Thousand Dollars 

Deposited into: Your Account 


From: The Bank of The Universe 

____________________________________________ 

Since you are so loved and cherished, we - at the 

Bank of the Universe - have decided to deposit 
money into your account for the rest of your life. 

This is not a loan and we do not expect this 

money to be paid back - it is our gift to you, 
just for being you! 

All we ask, is that as you go through your day, 

you look for ways to spend this money that will 
give you joy. 

You may use this money in any way you desire. 


It is preferable that you SPEND the money, rather 

than saving it for later, because your prosperity 
is unlimited. We will continue to send you more 
and more money each week. 

It is also preferable that initially you spend 

this money on yourself - or if it makes you feel 
better start to pay off some debts - because 
that's what manifesting and attracting is all 
about - it's your FEELINGS that create. 

Get used to spending on yourself, feel how good 

it feels to spend on yourself, feel the decadence 
of spending on yourself - knowing more and more is 
coming your way. 

This is just the beginning. We would advise that 

you take some time over the next week to keep your 
eyes open for things that 'make your heart sing'. 

When you see something you would like to have, 

write it down, cut it out, make a note, so that as 
the money continues to flow to you, you have a 
list you can easily bring to mind of things to 
purchase.

You'll receive one of these emails every day for 16 days, with the last email being a deposit of $1,000,000!

So, join me in visualizing being a millionaire by playing the game.
