ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PREFACE
I’m a MILLIONAIRE.
Ah…the sweet sound of that phrase. Isn’t that the sentence everyone wants to use or at least acknowledge in his/her mind? You see it daily on TV, read about it in all the newspaper and magazine success stories, and dream about the cash when entering the Lotto. Isn’t it deep down one of the true gauges of success? You’ve arrived. you’ve made it!
Close your eyes for a minute…can’t you dream what it would be like? Immediately quit your day job? Have the house and live in the gated neighborhood you drive by or want to drive through? Buy the cars, vacations, clothes, jewelry you window-shop for? How about sending your kids to private schools rather than public ones? Get that college degree you’ve always wanted but had no time or money? Or better yet, how about the freedom
to wake up in the morning and know YOU will dictate your time that day rather than someone else (i.e., Boss). How about running your own small business or pursuing a hobby you’ve only dreamed of? Isn’t that what MILLIONAIRES really do?
When I was seven years old, I knew that I would be wealthy some day. I didn’t know what a MILLIONAIRE
was, but I had a pretty good idea what money was and its importance. After all, I had $7.00 in my bank savings account making 1% interest! That was big money for a mid-western kid growing up in 1962. Matinee movies were 15 cents and candy bars sold for a nickel each. I knew the value of my two-quarter allowance, and saved all I could while my friends spent all of their allowance on comic books. Our family lived in a quiet, middle class Indiana suburb and drove Chevrolets. We went to public schools and walked to grade school and then high school. I knew my parents were not very affluent, but we had nice clothes, ate well, and had the biannual vacation. So why did I think I would ever be wealthy or even a MILLIONAIRE?
Before I answer that, let’s go over some creative financial labels (and the misperceptions). Who are these people with money, and are they really by definition Millionaires
?
#1 THE QUIET WEALTHY ONES
These are generally families with a net worth estimated in the $2—9 million range. They likely did not inherit their wealth and are mostly middle-aged. One or both spouses may be employed, probably college educated and most likely self-employed with significant equity in their own business(es). Their finances are on autopilot
and they don’t flaunt their wealth. You can find examples of these families in all parts of the United States. They generally live very quiet, unpretentious lives, maybe even in your current neighborhood.
#2 THE RICH (As in Filthy Rich
)
This is sometimes a synonym for wealthy
but these people have much, much more. These are the Rockefeller and Gates families of the world. These people are not Millionaires; they are Billionaires! Money is a simple instrument or commodity for them, and their tidal pool is overflowing. Wealth management is their biggest obstacle, especially as they age and begin to transfer cash and assets to their heirs.
#3 THE LOUD AFFLUENT SET
These individuals have too much money, but probably are not true Millionaires. They are the "nouveau riche" who probably have come into their money quickly through a fortuitous investment. The internet millionaires
of the 1990’s are a good example. One or both may work in a professional job, with a small investment portfolio in real estate and stocks. The downside is that they can barely make ends meet on their loud affluent
lifestyle. With the opulent house, new Mercedes car payments, country club dues and whopping credit card expenses, they secretly struggle to meet their quarterly tax payments and huge property tax bills. Their $200-250K in joint
