...boosted by gains in the stock market and house prices

Note that "millionaire" doesn't mean you're making a million dollars a year. You qualify if your assets exceed one million, such as:

$600,000 across a 401k and assorted mutual funds
$400,000 home equity

If you don't want to put your house into hock to draw out cash, then your "millionaire" income with the above example is $24,000 a year before taxes, assuming a generous 4% withdrawal rate.
 
Based on inflated worth ........not real assets .......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

a crash could take plenty of people down!!!
