A lot of millionaire wealth is in home ownership in high value markets. Really doesn't matter if you can realize that asset.

Even refugees - remember they are the wealthier ones who are forced to leave their home country due to circumstances beyond their control.

ReplyDeleteIf even there. I realized a long time ago "winning a million" would pay off housing and get us a couple dream vehicles but not actually allow us to stop working any earlier.
