I found this Psychology Today article on the five different types of millionaires interesting. I suspect most forum members fall into the Realionaire category. Let's see if that's reflected in the poll results.
1. Thrillionaires "enjoy the things and experiences that wealth can buy ... For them, wealth is the means to privacy, exclusivity, pleasure, and highly memorable experiences."
2. Coolionaires "surround themselves with beautiful things and experiences ... For them, wealth is the means to consume beauty if they can’t actually create it and a way to dwell in and show off their personal aesthetics and taste."
3. Realionaires "stay under the radar of the trappings of wealth, seeing their affluence as an indicator of their status as a person of uncommon common sense ... For them, wealth is simply a means to be oneself, having earned that privilege through their practicality and determination to get the biggest bang for their buck."
4. Wellionaires "pursue '360-degree' wellness through their commitment to look good, feel healthy, and think positively ... For them, wealth is the means to keep one’s body and the Earth as natural and green as possible, perceiving a symbiotic relationship between themselves and the planet."
5. Willionaires "focus on the privilege and responsibility to try to make the world a better place ... For them, the concept of philanthropy is not charity but a way of life, with wealth the means to be a social entrepreneur in avenues they feel are important."
