Yes but that means I actually have a reasonable chance of becoming one. Nowadays millionaire is synonymous with middle class. That could be me one day. 100 years ago I'd have no chance becoming at a millionaire.

we live in a fake culture. a culture of lies which is just right for narcissists and sociopaths who IMHO are vastly undercounted here.

a few pertinent quotes-
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. -Vincent van Gogh, painter (30 Mar 1853-1890)
never lose yourself while trying to hold onto somebody who doesn't care about losing you.
"Loneliness doesn't come from having no one around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that are important to you." -Carl Jung
Nothing hurts a good soul and the kind heart more than to live amongst people who can’t understand it. ~ Ali Ibn Abi Taalib
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. - Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik
[addressed to the loneliest one]-
"'There is in certain living souls a loneliness unspeakable. So great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine and know by this that in immensity there's one lonelier than you.' Perhaps in the end all that matters is this: and for those who are lonely enough, long enough... that even to the loneliness there is an end..."
[Theodore Sturgeon- Feb 26, 1918 - May 08, 1985]

Yeah, me too... but it doesn't carry the same cachet as it used to due to inflation of the fiat currency system. Now you'd have to be a $100Millionaire or a Billionaire for it to be rare and thus more distinguishing.

True but I'll still take middle class over nothing.
