For Richer, For Poorer. . .

The genesis of this newly minted blog is a recent article in The New York Times entitled "The Millionaires Who Don't Feel Rich."


Right there, on the upper-left corner of the Sunday NY Times of August 5, 2007, is a photo of one Hal Steger, 51, a marketing executive with an estimated net worth of $3.5 million.


His words form part of The Times's Quotation of the Day:


"But a few million doesn't go as far as it used to."


He is part of a new class, dubbed "working-class millionaires" by the piece's author, Gary Rivlin.


I grew up in a working-class housing project.


I am not a millionaire.


And if I were, would it be enough?


What constitutes "enough"?
