Actually, according to a devalued definition of 'millionaire' (one
whose assets total more than one million dollars or pounds) I suspect
that many of us who are at or near retirement age and who have been
properly feeding their IRA's would meet that definition, although the
drop in the stock and housing markets may temporarily eliminate
some. Two wage earner families would generate even more 'millionaire
households'.
Millionaires aren't what they used to be.
To capture the original sense of the term, it might be better to
define a millionaire as someone whose income exceeds one million -- I
doubt that anyone on this list would qualify.

There are lots of millionaires on Tips
Now I am puzzled by this. David Myer apparently monitors this list
and I presume that he is a millionaire but how would one know if a
Tipster was or was not a millionaire without an examination of various
financial documents? I am willing to go on the record that I am not
nor have I ever been a millionaire though this is only my word.
One's word carries a certain amount of weight because of how
one has behaved but even behavior is not a reliable guide (just
ask the people who got fleeced by Bernie Madoff).
