"The Millionaire Next Door" illustrates well the fact that wealthy

Most who are "technically" millionaires are cheap pathetic misers who aren't
enjoying a dime they are hoarding away.
How many millionaires do you personally know well enough to know
whether they're happy? Zero? None? (Let me know when I exceed the
actual number.) Nada? Zilch? Zip? (Not yet, huh?)
I know at least two, my husband and me. We're very happy. We're not
cheap pathetic misers. Nor are we hoarders.
If you count the present value of our retirement annuities, assuming
the actuarial life span, we're multimillionaires, by the way.
