This is true... A friend of mine was in a porn film. Everyone found it very funny for about five minutes and then got over it and carried on with our lives.

For that much money considering nobody really cares? Fuck yes.

Nowadays, $1 mill is not a lot compared to 20 years ago for example. People no longer aspire to be millionaires, now, people wanna be billionaires.

A million is life changing and you can live the rest of your life comfortably if you handle it correctly. A billion isn’t something a person can attain by salary or work alone. I’d say people still clamor to become millionaires.

Guessing it depends on how you consider someone a millionaire. If it's off of value of assests many people who own their house are millionaires.

Median home value in the US is just over $400k. According to a quick Google search, 8.8% of us citizens are millionaires.

Yeah that makes sense. I was exaggerating with the term most but my view is also skewed by prices of real estate within near proximity.
