Many millionaires do not make anything like a million dollars a year (this is what the tax actually is a tax on income over $1 million). Owning a paid off house in MA and a decent sized investment account would easily make a person a millionaire in MA even if the income to get that was say $200,000 a year.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
