It doesn't take money to make money — just start early and make smart decisions. If you want to get rich, start investing — and start as early as you possibly can.

"Becoming rich is nothing more than a matter of committing and sticking to a systematic savings and investment plan," financial adviser David Bach writes in his book "Smart Couples Finish Rich".

"You don't need to have money to make money," he writes. "You just need to make the right decisions — and act on them."

To illustrate the simplicity of building wealth over time, Bach created a chart detailing how much money you need to set aside each day, month, or year in order to have $1 million saved by the time you're 65.

The chart assumes you're starting with zero dollars invested. It also assumes a 12% annual return.

They give you a good idea of how coming up with a couple of extra dollars each day can make an enormous difference in the long run, particularly if you start saving at a young age.
