Excerpt from Book

What is Middle Class Poverty and How Can You Avoid It? If you ask a group of baby boomers, Who is the first "millionaire" you ever heard of? there''s a good chance they''ll say, Batman. As we know, Batman, under his famous black cape, was really Bruce Wayne. He was the only son of Dr. Thomas and Mrs. Martha Wayne, two very wealthy and charitable socialites living in Gotham City. Bruce was brought up in a happy, wealthy, and privileged lifestyle in Wayne Manor, at least until he was 8 years old when his parents were killed by a small-time criminal. After his parents'' death, Bruce vowed revenge on all things evil in Gotham''s criminal underworld. What helped make his promise of revenge possible was the fortune he inherited from his wealthy parents. It was Bruce''s wealth that provided him with the necessary seclusion (i.e., the Batcave), the physical means (e.g., crime fighting equipment, crime labs, Batmobile), and the flexible schedule (no 9-to-5 job in a cubicle for Batman) he needed in order to fight crime. So what''s Batman got to do with the middle-class? Plenty. A million dollars back in 1939, when the comic book character first appeared, was an enormous amount of money. Even well into the 1960s and 1970s when the Batman television series was at its height, having a million dollars seemed like the answer to all of life''s financial struggles. Most Americans never imagined they would ever accumulate a million dollars, let alone need that much to retire. The world was a less expensive place, and many people had reliable lifetime pensions once they retired. In today''s world, however, millionaire Bruce Wayne might be just another affluent, upper-middle-class guy facing the challenge of enjoying life while not running out of money at some point.
