Great article on the "new middle-class millionaires"

From Marketwatch - highlights;


7.6% of American households, or 8.4 million households are middle-class millionaires
The average middle-class millionaire works 70 hours per week
Middle-class millionaires are five times more likely than the average worker to say they are always available for work
89% believes that anyone can attain wealth through hard work
62% believes that networking, or knowing many people, is the key to financial success

Nine out of 10 middle-class millionaires say they made a bad career or business move, but almost three-fourths say that was crucial to their business success (that's an amazing statistic - if nothing else, encouraging!)

They are five times more likely than the average middle-class person to continue on in the same business course in spite an earlier failure (equally encouraging)
