However, I'm sure people will be celebrating the holiday if they have that kind of dough - $2M stashed in short term T-bills alone. I think there are far many more of those people mentioned above with CDs earning low interest rates, actually losing purchasing power after taxes and inflation, than those with $2M in T-bills.
Many people own a second or third property that they rented out over the years and decided to sell their property into a strong market. They suddenly find themselves with a lot of cash. Learning to invest that cash risk free will lead to a pretty comfortable life.
Happy Fourth of July!
