Millionaire definition is simple. Networth. Asset - Liabilities > RM1mil.
My statement was more of a personal opinion
To me, asset doesn't even count if you only have 1 asset. If you stay in a RM1mil property with no liquidity, your property will not bring you anything except shelter. When you need to money, you can't possibly sell your ONLY home right? So, liquidity which you can have access anytime is critical.
Likewise for properties. You can have multiple properties, aside from the one you are staying. As long as you sell them all and can have over RM1 mil after deducting loan redemption, then I'd call you a millionaire. As per earlier example, you can buy 3 properties of RM1 mil each, making downpayments of RM200k (20%) each. Your worth is RM600k, not RM3mil.
Ok, ok .. just expressing my thoughts on what a millionaire means to me. So, having said that, people are getting more and more capable these days. I truly hope CBJ will flourish and fulfill the hopes of us early birds.
