Be a Millionaire Day
Be A Millionaire Day is on May 20. On this day pretend to be a millionaire or start working on your plans that you think will make you a millionaire.
A millionaire is someone who is worth a million units in his or her country's currency. According to the 2014 Global Wealth Report, a study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group, there were about 16 million millionaire households in 2013. The United States had the highest number of millionaires at 7.1 million households, with China coming in second at 2.4 million millionaire households.
How to Celebrate?
- Get started on making your life plans possible. If that means going to school or getting a new degree, why not enroll in school today?
- If you have ever planned to own a business, maybe it is time to start making your business plans.
Did You Know…
…that John Jacob Astor was thought to be the first multi-millionaire in the United States? His estimated net worth as a percentage of the gross domestic product of the United States at the time of his death in 1884, makes him the 5th richest American in history.

When I asked my friend if she was planning to attend church, she just shook her head. "I haven't gone in a long time," she said.
"Besides, it's too late for me. I've probably already broken all seven commandments."

One afternoon while I was visiting my library, I noticed a group of preschoolers gathered for story time. The book they were reading was "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." After the librarian finished the first page, she asked the children, "Do you think she'll die?"
"Nope," a little girl in the back said. "I saw this last night on 'Fear Factor.' "

Our elementary school was honoring local veterans. The students were a bit intimidated and didn't know how to approach them.
"Start by introducing yourself,"
I said. "Then ask what branch of the military they served in."
One student walked over to a vet and promptly asked, "What tree are you from?"
