'Are you a millionaire?' poll discussion.

I ended up as B, but I don't feel like it. It is only the value of my house that pushed me up, and I can't easily spend that. Disposable income is entirely another thing.

I am rich and have a mansion, but it's waiting for me in heaven.

I've got a very, very large house too. Some people say it looks like Balmoral. But it's a merchant's house of the 19th century. It's not particularly att!ractive but it does me nicely.

Interesting this. I came out in C and I thought I was dead skint before !!!!

So is this useful as an indicator of how you're doing financially? I've got a fair bit of credit card debt but house is worth a lot more than the mortgage outstanding....

I reckon if my wife and I had a million between us I'd class us as millionaires. Not sure I'd feel I needed to halve it - my fiancee and I became one when we married!

Well, I answered D, but have since realised I need to split everything in half, as my wife owns half of it! So it's actually E. I'm sure the results are a bit top heavy with people making the same mistake as me...

Well I did as well but frankly after 31 years married I always think of us as one anyway so I'm sticking with my C vote.

Unless you inherit money you must have that little bit of luck to actually make the millionaire status.I have worked and saved hard all my life but I have also had that little bit of luck.I am not a mean person but I still watch what I spend I just cannot get into the habit of wasting money.When you started with nothing its very hard to change.My wife is very different and some times I wish I could be like her.

B and C are getting a lot of votes. Perhaps next time there should be more granularity here. B covers a whopping range - someone with £999,000 has virtually 3 times the wealth of another with only £250,000, yet they are binned together.

Category B seems to be too big - £250,000 to £999,999 is quite a jump. I think someone worth just over £250,000 is in quite a different position to someone who is worth £999,999.

I'm 37 married with 2 kids and voted H. The outstanding mortgage is about 90% value of the house, car is worth next 2 nothing, I have no pension pot :eek: and !!!!!! all in the way of savings (currently £100). Hubby has a credit card debt of £300 and once I've halved it all its pretty poor tbh. Although I suppose a small difference the right way is better than a HUGE difference the wrong way

Actually on recalculating I now think G would have been better.

I voted N (ahhhhh) due to having just bought our first flat however I like others didn't think and forgot to factor in my boyfriend!
