953 nut 59,555 #1 Posted May 20 When you think of being a millionaire, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? It could be the ability to buy whatever you want, travel the world, practice philanthropy on a grand scale, or just eliminating debt. Whatever your personal dreams may be, let’s all celebrate National Be a Millionaire Day on May 20, by doing at least one thing that makes us feel like a million. Try these: get a spa treatment, test-drive an exotic car, or at the very least, treat yourself to a special cocktail or coffee. The point is, while you’re on your way to becoming a millionaire, focus now on whatever it is that makes you feel rich! 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 28,218 #2 Posted May 20 If more people did what he did - take the $100 and save / invest - there'd be a lot more millionaires... but sadly, many take out a loan to go to Vegas... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,555 #3 Posted May 20 When "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" first came on the air with Regis Philbin hosting the show my wife and I watched it all the time. The first time the contestant actually got to the $ 1,000,000 question I knew the correct answer before they even put up the four posable answers. My wife told me I should go on the show but I pointed out that I had missed the nursery rhyme question and a couple others and would have come home empty handed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beap52 1,358 #6 Posted May 21 This past Sunday my best friend in high school sent a text: If I'd put $1,000 in Walmart stock right out of high school, it would be worth $20 million now. What's wrong with me? My reply: You didn't share that information with your best friend, Besides, you and your best friend couldn't have come up with a thousand dollars even if one of them had to post bail bond for the other. Paul's reply: Yep we were broke. Hauling hay didn't pay much, According to the googler, in 2024, 8.5% or almost 22 million of American adults are millionaires. A thousand dollars in 1970 (the time frame we were texting about) is equal to about $8,250 today. Shoot, I still couldn't come up with the money to invest in Walmart! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always wanted to live in a real valuable house, thanks to inflation I have achieved that goal and I didn't even have to move. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
