What Do Millionaires Really Look Like?

Tweet

Many people have visions of millionaires that are of people living high off the hog, lavishly adorned with valuable things surrounding them. The reality for MOST millionaires is much different than that. Most millionaires do not drive fancy cars. They drive late model ones that are practical and get the job done. Most millionaires don't live in fancy homes in posh neighborhoods. They live in modest homes in comfortable, safe communities. Most millionaires don't shop at fancy, high end stores. They shop frugally in thrift stores or discount stores. Most millionaires don't follow fashion trends. They wear what is comfortable and value priced. Most millionaires don't eat al a carte at fine dining establishments. They eat at places where the food is good and plentiful and price-wise. Most millionaires don't stay in luxurious hotels when they travel. They stay in reasonably priced establishments that offer just the basic accommodations and amenities. Most millionaires do not spend lavishly. They spend purposefully and watch their pennies very closely. The bottom line is that most millionaires are invisible. They live among us like the rest of us and are hard to pick out of a crowd. They are not outward in their appearances displaying wealth. The only way you know if they are millionaires is if you ask them, and they acknowledge it. In many circles, this is known as "silent wealth," or "stealth wealth." 9 times out of 10, if you think someone is rich based on where they live, what they drive, what they wear, or how many vacations they take... You are not seeing the millionaires.
