Millionaire debtor! I’m in southern california and I thought all these people were millionaires until I read the book “The Millionaire Next Door.” It opened my eyes to the fact that most millionaires are pretty low-key and the people that “look rich” are usually debtors. I’m seeking to change my mindset to THAT… real wealth/security as opposed to surface wealth (just an illusion).

there are so many billionaires these days, having a million seems almost quaint. certainly not the awesome thing it was, say, 30 years ago. having said that, a million would be just perfect for me – more than enough to pay off all my debt, fix up my house and fund a comfortable retirement….in short, all my financial worries would be over and the little knot of tension in my stomach would finally dissolve ….i should read this book!!

The first thing I think of is the old TV show where an anonymous donor gives a random person a million dollars…. and then showed how it (usually) ruined the recipient’s life. (I’m really not a pessimist.)

Perseverance, quickly followed by determination and freedom. Some people are born into money and others win it, but I think most millionaires earn it or at least work to keep what they inherited. Luck plays a part as well – no major illnesses or accidents, having the idea that made the money in the first place, buying a home in the right neighborhood (wish I had done THAT 17 years ago because it would be just about paid off and I would not have had to move to a much better neighborhood when our old one went downhill).

Hmmm…first, yes, “lucky.” Then I add on “but do-able.” The truth is, I think I’m still mired in my childhood, when having $1 m was a huge amount of money. Now? I have three kids to get through college plus retirement. Yikes. I’m still hoping to get there.

When I see someone is a millionaire the green-eyed monster tries to emerge and I hear a whiny, resentful voice saying, “lucky”.

That’s not the life I ever expected to live. Nor do I believe it. I’ve known millionaires, not too many, but more than a couple. Some I saw before they made the millions. Two made millions selling their company the others quietly plugged away year after year.

The basic thread in all their stories was their vision and follow through. I’d forgotten that … and I’d forgotten myself. I no longer desire to be a resentful person. I can do as great does and get the same results. Thanks for reminding me of that simple and essential thought.

I immediately thought of two words: Desire and Freedom. I desire to be a millionaire, and while a millionaire wouldn’t give me complete freedom to do whatever I want, it would allow me to pursue other things–like a new job that might not be as high in pay but much more enjoyable for me, or perhaps the freedom to go to school to find out what sort of job I would enjoy.

“Millionaire” always brings up 2 words with me. Discipline and control, 2 things that I have “finally” discovered aren’t static but forever dynamic. You are either gaining or not. It’s kind of like the river. To be a millionaire I’d have to have developed those 2 traits to a respectable level.

Tricia,

I just read your interview with Alicia. It’s very inspiring. I can relate to your answer to her last question about the difference between the sexes’ relationship with money. Up until now I have been a small thinker and small thinking meant making way too many small purchases on my credit card and thinking, “It’s not that much. I can pay that off.” Then the bill would come, and I had accumulated so much that I couldn’t pay it off.

I really enjoyed your interview. Continued success!

When I hear the word millionaire I think fundamentals. I think of someone who understands that fundamentals are simple, but they are not easy. For example, to get out of debt spend less than you earn and save a portion of your income. The concept is very simple, but it’s not easy to do. Another example is healthy living. If you want to lose weight, eat less calories and move more. Again, basic, simple concept, but challenging to master. To me a millionaire has mastered concepts like these. They are a way of life for her, her lifestyle.

When I hear “millionair” I think luck. The luck to be born into money, to understand what it takes to create wealth, or to win the money from some outlandish lottery of some sort. Also, the term “unreachable” comes to mind.
