So it's five years into the future and you're now a millionaire. How will people react? Will they treat you the same, or do you think some things will change?
-When I think about my core group of friends, I imagine that they'll be amazed that someone they're very close to became so successful, but in the end they'll just be proud of me, end of story. I don't see my relationship with them really changing much, other than me having the time to hang out with them more.
-I imagine those fair-weather friends who used to laugh at my dreams will probably try to suck up to me and tell people "I knew he was gonna make it the whole time." I won't be hanging around these people and I'll be quick to call them out if I hear them tell these lies.
-When I think about my immediate family, I see a drastic change. I imagine my parents LOOKING UP to me and holding me in high regard rather than looking down on me like they used to when I was a college graduate without a job in the corporate world who had all these crazy ideas about becoming wealthy. I imagine my sisters feeling empowered to achieve their dreams now that they've seen me achieve mine. I imagine my cousins, uncles, aunties, and other relatives asking me for money all the time (not really looking forward to that).
How do you guys see your relationships changing when you become millionaires?
