This is just very interesting that I saw the news after I post Enough is never enough – are you a Middle-Class Millionaire? just few days ago. If you have not read this on MSN Money about 10 secrets that millionaires keep, you should read it. It’s very interesting.

In summary, what are those 10 secrets that millionaires keep?

1. You may think I’m rich, but I don’t.
2. I shop at Wal-Mart.
3. But I didn’t get rich by skimping on lattes.
4. I have a concierge for everything.
5. You don’t get rich by being nice.
6. Taxes are for little people.
7. I was a B student.
8. Like my Ferrari? It’s a rental.
9. Turns out money can buy happiness.
10. You worry about the Joneses. I worry about keeping up with the Trumps.

I am not surprised that many rich people rent their rich toys. People often fake their rich status. You only feel rich when you spend less than you earn. Showing off your rich toys doesn’t make you richer than yesterday.

Indeed, for all their riches, some 40% of millionaires fear that their standard of living will decline in retirement and that their money will run out before they die, according to Fidelity.

Personally, I would prefer to rent a very nice car, so I can keep driving brand new cars when they are available. I will only do so when I can afford it and still keep my cash flow come in. Also there are about 70% rich people who still believe that money can buy happiness. I am sure that money is not everything, but it does give you a better chance to get what you want.

It’s the freedom that money buys!

Are you wearing a rich mask to fake who you really are?

Regardless what you really are behind your mask, do you really find happiness at the moment? If you do, you are already rich!
