Poll: Are you a millionaire (in USD)?

5 points by mmcconnell1618 12y ago ↗ HN

HN readers tend to make above average salaries and there are always stories of 20 somethings selling to Facebook for tens of millions. I'd like to find out what percentage of HN readers are actually millionaires.

Between mortgage and student loans I am much less than zero. I wonder how common that demographic is.

I don't personally know very many recent graduates who have broken even on their education yet. I suspect many of them (including myself) will be in the red for the better part of a decade.

I'm curious to know a) if being smart and making a good salary translates to wealth and b) how seriously I should take stories about overnight success. Are they outliers?
