in the financial business 5-7 years ago I found that the high end clients I dealt with didn't really start to FEEL rich till they had about 10 million US - in today's dollars that would be closer to about 15 million US in reasonabily liquid assets.

at about the 4 million mark most felt they were just getting going..........

that's not an insult quiet, but some insite from someone who dealt with many people in that income range from a variety of occupations/careers/businesses. There's a million ways to make a million bucks in a million different industries. The one thing I found across the board was that most were more intertested in the power (defined in many ways of course) than the cash in what they did though.....being someone meant more than being rich.


I'm thinking you're idea of being 'someone' is being retired and being able to tell people that. You're 'STASTIS SYMBOL" so to say. The problem is most people socialize up - so you might end up hanging with more successful retired people and feel the need to go back to work to get some more money to measure up.

The thing about being someone not that there's people beneth you, that's part of it, but that's there's also people ABOVE you that you can use as a motivator to become more than what you are today.

ok, enough philisophy for today.
