In Britain, a study was released that it would take 3 million sterling pounds to buy what 1 million pounds would have bought a few years back. So simply stating that there are more millionaires isn't even half the story. Its misunderstandings like this that politicians can use to garner support whilst in office.

People who think that good days only happen when the market is up, do not understand the market. What that little article means to me is that those millionaires obviously know how to sell a stock! A faltering market is just as good as a soaring one. Just trade by the charts! I hate it when people are like “Oh the stock market did horrible today!!!”.

Don't be a self-pitying loser. While I sympathize with you, be realistic. You've just identified your problem, now go out there and do something about it. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. This is the idea behind Kiyosaki's works, Rich Dad Poor Dad series... I suggest you read it. re: Brett

A teacher who works at an alternative school with at risk kids who makes 600$ every two weeks but who pays 700$ in student loans. With all these millionaires out there can someone help me. I work just as hard if not harder than most while dealing with a multitude of problems I am poor.

What I'm interested in is the geographic distribution of these 8.9 million millionaires - I bet (and in some cases know) that you would see some extremely dense clustering, with huge blank spaces in between. I think part of what Ramit is doing with this website is to give people the tools to, hopefully, fill in some of those blanks someday - if not as millionaires, then as financially solvent and comfortable people.
