U.S. millionaires say $7 million not enough to be rich

-snip-

More than four out of ten American millionaires say they do not feel rich. Indeed many would need to have at least $7.5 million in order to feel they were truly rich, according to a Fidelity Investments survey.

Some 42 percent of the more than 1,000 millionaires surveyed by Fidelity said they did not feel wealthy. Respondents had at least $1 million in investable assets, excluding any real estate or retirement accounts.

1. For some, their greed knows no limits

You could probably ask if $7 billion was enough & I'm sure at least 25% would say no.

3. If they compare themselves to Bill Gates or Warren Buffett,

they consider themselves "poor"????? Sometimes
it appears up is down, I guess. It is enough
to make you laugh, I guess.

4. They Should See What It's Like To Feel Poor!

Perhaps if they opened their kitchen cupboards to find them bare...perhaps if they needed to get to a doctor and found they couldn't afford the gas NOR the price of a doctor..perhaps if they got mail from every utility in town threatening them with being cut off heat in the winter,electricity in the summer,water--anytime etc...perhaps then and only then will they see that perhaps they are wealthier then they realize.

5. Being rich and feeling rich are two different things. Too bad they let

their insecurities destroy the whole world.
