Are you Millionaire material?:
Archive through January 12, 2001
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 02:50 pm  Are You Millionaire Material? I scored a 7 out of 10. Ever thought about buying an SUV and joining a tennis club? You should, because you were made for the elite. We can tell that you enjoy many of the finer things in life, but for some reason you just can't make the leap to "millionaire material." Sure, that's a step down from the top of the money pile, but it's probably all for the best. Why? Perhaps because, when it comes down to it, you enjoy fun more than money. Cash is all well and good, and we can tell that you're pretty good at saving your dough when you put your mind to it, but you'd rather spend time outdoors, hang out with friends, or plan your next big trip than drool over your bank balance. After all, what's money for if you can't enjoy it? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:02 pm  I scored 5 out of 10 and the same write up for as in Max's post |
Cinnamongirl | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:03 pm  5 out of 10 Terribly sorry, but you're just not millionaire material. It's pick-ups (not limos) for you. But, hey, money isn't everything, right? I think it must have been that happiness/puppies question that put me under. damn |
Flint | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:12 pm  I scored....5.5 You're in for a life of comfort, but since you aren't willing to sacrifice your friends and family in return for untold riches (we think), you'll probably never be true millionaire material.

Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:19 pm  CinnGirl... I got the same score but they gave me a different description, go figure... I guess there is still hope for us I am wondering what dating a super model/Actor has to do with becoming a millionaire...LOL |
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:21 pm  'cause if you can date a supermodel or actor, you might get to marry one or live with one long enough to get a share o' the dough!  |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:24 pm  But I know that they are not all are rich... They only pretend! |
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:25 pm  Ahhh, but it's the potential that counts here, methinks.  |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:29 pm  Okay... but living in the mist of it... I have issues! I Will BE A MILLIONAIRE! Thats my final answer |
Flint | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:32 pm  Supermodels....mmmmmm...Laetitialicious.  |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:33 pm  JuJu... Flint needs that cold water bucket again! |
Flint | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:36 pm  Dunno if that would help. ;) |
Mishamisha | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:50 pm  I sincerely doubt it ;) |
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:52 pm  Yes, but does Flint need the water or the bucket? Each would have decidedly different effects, methinks.  |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:55 pm  You're in for a life of comfort, but since you aren't willing to sacrifice your friends and family in return for untold riches (we think), you'll probably never be true millionaire material. Same score as Flint. I just don't need Juju's buckets of water. |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 04:15 pm  Good Point Max! |
Enbwife | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 04:26 pm  Got 5 out of 10: You work hard for your money, but it just never seems to make you any richer, right? That's because you're just regular folk, baby. And that's A-okay. Really. (It worked for the Conners on Roseanne, didn't it?) Maybe you're not the best financial manager ever to walk the earth, but chances are money's not really all that important to you. So what if your job has never made anyone rich? You don't care. If you'd wanted to be rich, you'd have had to make that your number one priority and forget about lots of other things — like having fun and spending lots of time with family and friends. It's better to enjoy yourself while you can than spend your time drooling over a bank balance. Sure, you probably wish life wasn't such hard work and that one of those lottery tickets would finally pay off, but all in all we know you're doing okay. Congrats! |
Tukuul | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:52 pm  Well, congratulations! (We think...) As far as we can tell, you're definitely millionaire material. We're guessing you know how to turn a penny into a dollar and a dollar into a fortune — and you're good at building the balance in your savings account, too. But it's not just the money thing that makes you fit to be one of the elite. You've got the right attitude, too. Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous while thinking (to yourself, of course) that they aren't quite as special as most people assume they are is second nature to you. Chances are you come from a wealthy and/or established family — but we're betting you'd have ended up this way even without their help. Because when it comes down to it, you really love money. A word of warning: An unchecked Midas complex can turn you into a superficial person with more finances than friends (case in point, Mr. Burns on The Simpsons...), so try to get out of the counting house every now and then and practice your mixing-with-the-common-people skills. |
Guruchaz | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:05 pm  Well, here's what I came up with: Ever thought about buying an SUV and joining a tennis club? You should, because you were made for the elite.

Twiggyish | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:27 pm  Same with me, too on this one.. Ever thought about buying an SUV and joining a tennis club? You should, because you were made for the elite.

Norwican | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 07:19 am  You're in for a life of comfort, but since you aren't willing to sacrifice your friends and family in return for untold riches (we think), you'll probably never be true millionaire material. (shucks) |
Mishamisha | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 10:06 am  Hmmm, I got 5.5 also. Too bad, I was looking forward to raking in the bucks. Looks like I should've dated that moviestar when I had the chance. |
Tukuul | Friday, January 12, 2001 - 09:04 am  The freaky part that most people don't realize is that everyone has the ability to become a millionaire. First, money doesn't come with a manual so everyone gets different input while growing up on how to use it. Second, most people have no clue about the power of compound interest and figure you have to already be rich to be a millionaire. Other people want their investment to be guaranteed when the only guarantee is that they will be broke a short time after retirement (taking the yearly inflation rate into consideration). The only thing left to fill hopes is lotto tickets and Publisher's Clearing House. If done correctly, a person could work their whole life at Wal-Mart and be a millionaire at retirement. It's just a lack of information or taking the time to gain the information. (ok, that's all) |
Flint | Friday, January 12, 2001 - 09:08 am  Tukuul, your theories intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. |
Guruchaz | Friday, January 12, 2001 - 11:11 am  My post had to be adjusted because I do not have proper self-control and posted a bit of flamebait. Maybe I will realize that there won't be many more chances given to me. (moderator) "If you continue to think like you've always thought, you will continue to get what you've always got." |
