i personally never considered that being a millionaire to be honest. my personal definition is someone who has a 1 million dollars in the bank, liquid = a millionaire. Meaning they can go take out a million dollars tomorrow if they needed too. Someone who has their money tied up in assets cant do that. I'm not a millionaire, but my goal is to be one by the time i turn 30, i have 2 years to go so the clock is ticking. Had a few business ventures, but nothing that "took off" so hopefully something will soon. Shoemoney is from nebraska, if you ever read his blog he mentions it on several occassions.
i honestly dont think it is. i think people have low self-esteems and subconsciously limit their self-worth so they never stand a chance at earning that type of money to begin with. I will say that earning your FIRST million is definately more difficult then any million there after... Also, i've had alot of people tell me from experience, that earning a million is easier then keeping it. but i wont know that until i'm in that situation. all of my business associates are, or were millionaires at one point in time. Remember, birds of a similar feather flock together. If you want to be a millionaire, find a mentor who is one, or has been one. Find out where they hang out and start hanging out in those areas..
Indeed, They say Million Dollars is not what it used to be. May be 5 Millions net worth is the new Millionaire status.
I reckon, Personality is way more important than Money. But Money and Personality are not mutually exclusive...you can be both rich and generous.
