We have to address a couple of basic definitions Millionaire is an accounting term. You dont get too I got your own definition. There is singular one definition that is the truth a millionaire is not some one that makes a million dollars a year.
A millionaire is not some one that has a million dollars cash, although that per It could also be a millionaire millionaire refers to billion air also refers to net. Worse, met worth is you own minus. What you owe various people, indifferent accounting functions. Include some assets and don't include some assets. Are you? Can your clothing in there if you want, but your clothings not really worth anything. So that's a bunch of crap, ok. So, but what you actually own that you can turn into money and what do you? Oh? What minus what you all your assets. Minus your liabilities equals your net worth when you do that in the bottom right hand, corner that number,
is a million dollars a greater? You are a millionaire. It's not a feeling. I don't feel like a millionaire. It doesn't matter million dollars. Isn't enough anymore.
