The Money survey studied 2, 876 cities across the United States with populations between 7,500 and 50,000. The selection process examined extensive data from these categories: financial, housing, education, quality of life, leisure and culture, weather, health, and neighborhood statistics. Interviews with community leaders and residents, as well as city visits, determined the final winners.

Most of Uncle Sam's gift money — about $7 billion — is distributed through Pell Grants. These awards, capped at $3,125 last year, go to the neediest students. Thirty percent of undergrads get them. While the feds have increased their Pell giving only 19% over the past decade, states have been less stingy, upping their grants 65%. This state money is not all based on need, either. Thirty-five states offer merit programs, such as Georgia's Hope Scholarship, which allows any Georgia high school graduate with a 3.0 GPA in core subjects to get free tuition at the state's public schools, or up to $3,000 a year at its private ones.

The increasing prevalence of people with more and more money has given rise to additional terms to further differentiate millionaires. A multimillionaire has a net worth of more than two million units of currency and a hectomillionaire has a net worth of more than 100 million units of currency (but the technically incorrect centimillionaire with a net worth of 1/100 of one million or 10 thousand units, strictly speaking is often used erroneously to mean the same thing).[3] While statistics regarding financial assets and net worth are presented by household, the term is ... often used to describe only the individual who has amassed the assets as millionaire. That is, even though the term statistically refers only to households, common usage is often in reference only to an individual.
