    AP: Millionaires Feel Poor

    This AP story comes right out of the Out of Touch File:

    "Even millionaires are feeling the economic squeeze, with many saying they don't even "feel" wealthy. But as a group, they are optimistic that things will improve in the next year...Tellingly, about 19 percent of the people surveyed do not consider themselves wealthy, even though they have, on average, $3 million to invest and earn at least $270,000 a year."

    It's hard to believe this isn't an Onion story - but it isn't.
