Somebody said it and I've always like it, "It's not what you make, it's what you keep". If you don't have many bills, you don't need a whole lot of moolah.:unibrow: Wish I had that problem. :lol:

Oh man..... I'm busting a lot of bubbles around here aren't I... :willy:


Okay -- I found this (again by Googling) and it is a brief article on what is a millionaire... It says you need to MAKE a million per year in income. Good quick reading and is interesting.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/...-a-millionaire


I posted a comment here or in the "millionair" (SIC) thread.... that I was driving by a group of big azz motorhomes and stacker trailers with real race cars in them and I was thinking to myself -- WTF do those guys do for a living? :lol: And this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. It takes a GIANT pile of money to be a "real millionaire".... for me - that description would be someone with Mansions (more than one) - private jet - a real Yacht - domestic help.... and be able to buy "anything" they wanted. At a 100K per month - you'd be just about there... but that would most likely be reduced by taxes of say 30% -- so you'd really need a pre-tax income more like 1.5MM a year! That would take THIRTY MILLION earning 5% income.

No wonder I feel poor!

Charley and I are at Thunderhill Raceway... and when I'm pulling out of there on Sunday afternoon... I drive past a bunch of big azz motorhomes with stackers and there's GT40's inside - and dedicated "real" race cars... and Panoz...and well - you get the picture. I'm in my 2006 Ford Dually - towing a 24' single car hauler... and I'm thinking (asking myself). Holy crap! I wonder WTF those guys do for a living?!?!
Whats even funnier is there was probably another guy next to you with his 1996 1/2 ton pulling a 17ft open car hauler looking at your dually and enclosed thinking "man, I wonder what that guy does for a living!" :D

That was the point of my post... it just doesn't make any difference where we are in life - somebody is going to have more.... and somebody less...
