Front page story 10 years ago on the NY Times: In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don’t Feel Rich (http://web.archive.org/web/20070805144155/http://www.nytimes...)

Sounds familiar...

I remember reading this exact story in college thinking, I'll happily move to a place where he had a million and don't feel rich... I'd still have a million.

And more or less, it's worked out. You still live vastly better here with a million than many other parts of the world without a million.

So basically you're saying, having a million dollars is better than not having a million dollars :P
