What would you ask a millionaire?

Written By: Teen Money Expert Stuart Fleming on July 2, 2009

Reading financial literacy material each day, I keep an eye out for the best information to share, all with the aim to help you get your head around money.

Today I found this stunning article:

The Secrets of Financial Freedom: An Interview with the Millionaire Next Door

written by JD at Get Rich Slowly

In it, JD talks with John, a 71-year-old retired teacher who lives in a modest house he’s had for over forty years.

“John drives a junkie 25-year-old station wagon. He spends his winters in New Zealand helping friends on a dairy farm. His summers are spent fishing in Alaska. For a couple of months each year, he’s home, puttering in the yard.”

So John is wealthy, but you wouldn’t really know it…

If you had the chance, what would you ask Millionaire John?

PS: some blog posts get a handful (if they’re lucky!) of responses added by readers. This article by JD has received 130 items of feedback! That’s impressive :)
