[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who have not idea what to do with their lives when no one tells them what to do, have to stay in the rut they've dug. [/quote]

This is highly inaccurate for most wealthy people.  The majority of wealthy people aren't being told what to do, they are telling others what to do.  We are in the $6-$8M range, both own businesses, have a young child.  I can quit today, but I love what I do and am tied to being home around the school year to be with my child.  Spouse loves what they do and has a long established business with many loyal, long term clients that book spouse out for projects many months or a year in advance.  Spouse could quit but wouldn't leave clients high and dry.

As other posters have said, depending on where you live and your lifestyle, under $10M isn't rich.  We joke what are FU money amount is, today $50M, depending on inflation and the economy it could go up.[/quote]

Clients are people who tell you what to do. [/quote]

I am the PP.  My clients don't tell me what to do, I call the shots in my line of work.  They come to me for health and wellness services because they need me.  I tell them what to do and if I don't want to see a client, I don't have to book them.  I can fire or not accept clients at any time.  My spouse is a 'fixer' and creator in their field.  Spouse tells clients what they need to do and what should be done.  Same situation, they can take on the business or turn it away.  We both enjoy what we do, we are young and won't retire until we feel like it.  Both of us can quit today.

You have a very limited view of the business world.  Not everyone sits at a desk all day or works for the government or is a paper pusher with a boss looking over their shoulder.  I don't get an employee review done by a supervior, I set my own prices as does spouse.  Our 'annual review' is how well our businesses are doing.  So far, extremely well.[/quote]
