Our survey of Middle-Class Millionaire households drew a distinction between &#8220;luxury discretionary spending&#8221; like jewelry, watches, and other cultural ephemera, and &#8220;values-based spending&#8221; that reflects the middle-class perspective of the working wealthy, [...]]]></description>
