Owners of the multi-million-dollar properties still see themselves as middle class, a warped self-image that has a big impact on renters

On the “sell it like any other asset”, you still have to live somewhere, those places cost money. On the “borrow against it”, now you’ve got debt (that costs money to have), I guess your saying anyone with that much money should be able to make more money off it via leverage than they use?

When i think rich, i think doesn’t have to work, but maybe that’s independently wealthy.

Right? How is it “any other asset” when you need it to live?
