I used to prepare tax returns for some high wealth individuals.. so I "know" them as in I've had professional dealings.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-746640 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:13:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 746640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure some people I know have millions in assets, but I guess I consider a true millionaire as someone who has millions in liquid cash, OR makes at least 1 million per year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-746639 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:13:47 +0000 Maysprout 746639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This article claims that the median income for millionaires is only $131,000, and they've just been frugal and very wise with investments.<br /> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/s/stanley-millionaire.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/s/stanley-millionaire.html</a></p> <p>I know a few, most make a decent salary and spend wisely and invest smartly, well some I'm just assuming because I know their salary and lifestyle.

There are very few jobs that actually pay that much... Even most CEOs don't earn that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-745941 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:15:07 +0000 looch 745941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: that's a good point. I define a millionaire as someone that has at least $1mil in net worth, including property and investments. A million dollar a year salary alone (to me) wouldn't make me think of millionaires. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-745934 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:12:44 +0000 mrskc 745934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one in my personal life.

I wasn't counting any inbetweeners who maybe almost kinda made it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-745855 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:54:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 745855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: that's very rare for doctors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-745847 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:53:16 +0000 winniebee 745847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interested to see what people's definition of "millionaire" is. Someone that has 1 mil in savings? Someone who makes 1 mil a year? Someone who has collectively 1 mil in assets/investments? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires/page/2#post-745844 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:52:44 +0000 GrapeCrush 745844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the doctor i used to work for is one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745840 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:51:58 +0000 MaisyMay 745840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots as where I work is in one of the most expensive areas in CA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745753 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:22:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 745753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha I totally agree... millionaires are a dime a dozen in our city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745566 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:48:20 +0000 MrsTiz 745566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one family, they're very proud of it and flaunt it. I liked them better before they made it big. They're still sweet, but money doesn't always do people well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745562 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:46:41 +0000 rachiecakes 745562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite a few but it doesn't mean much around here. A single family home, 2br 1000sf, is close to $500,000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745556 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:42:46 +0000 looch 745556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As in ones that are in my social circle, probably some that I don't realize. Technically, both my husband and I have earned over a million dollars each, but there's nothing close to that in our bank accounts, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745551 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:38:18 +0000 Dandelion 745551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few...I bet I know more and I just don't know it.

Some act like it - some dont...and some act like it but aren't (those are the ones I get a kick out of).</p> <p>Only two or three at our age (30) - the rest are parents friends or people we know/have met from the country club. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745525 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:23:51 +0000 heffalump 745525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My great uncle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745522 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:23:17 +0000 avivoca 745522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. They don't really flaunt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-millionaires#post-745517 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:18:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 745517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: DH's job requires him to review bank loans and the borrowers financial info. He used to work in KY, VA, and WVA and would tell me stories about the unassuming wealth some of these rural communities had.</p> <p>I'm sure I know a millionaire or two, but to me a millionaire is not rich. I would imagine these folks still need to work to maintain their lifestyle. </p>
