    I think it's more attainable than most people think. Its not as glamorous as we think it is, it will take hard work and doing weird stuff sometimes (not behaving like the average person), but it's possible. Take a listen to Dave Ramsey. They talk about 'everyday millionaires ' and they are teachers, accountants, etc. I think seeing what's possible makes ot easier to get past this mindset that 'that's unattainable', abd helps you set goals and dreams. At least thats what it did for me. Also inspires me to work harder

    To be fair, she wasn't saying you should feel bad for her. She's saying she is doing great given her current finances. However, some people think being a millionaire is the same as being a billionaire. Being a millionaire means you technically have enough to retire in your location of choice. Having about $3 million greatly expands your location of choice. Most people can comfortably retire in any city with that amount and still have money to spend on wants. It doesn't mean you can afford afford a yatch, super car, and multi-million dollar penthouse in the middle of the city. That's something a multi-millionaire or billionaire can do. However, you don't need to be a billionaire to be able kick back and relax. In fact, depending on where you live, you don't need to be a millionaire. People do retire with $300K. The minimum bar for me is to have enough in investments to pay for food. If I can invest enough to accomplish that then that's more than half the battle. The rest of it is lifestyle.

I decided to use the Roth and equity to buy a $250k house 🏡 cash because I had unpredictable self employment and was offered a high risk, high fee mortgage by a fraudster mortgage sales person.

So three hours for the average person, eleven days for smallest millionaires, and three decades for the smallest billionaires.

    The problem is that most Americans will never have a start up budget substantial enough to ever break 100k in net worth let alone 1 million or 1 billion. The majority of Americans have less than 5k in savings, and growing up in a poor neighborhood with poor parents and bad jobs is can really destroy any opportunity for you to move up unless somebody who already has money takes interest in you. This is why it’s so incredibly important to support poor families. So their children who didn’t make any mistakes and don’t deserve the position they’re in can have an opportunity to rise up.

I grew up being convinced we had regular summer “brown outs” because my family couldn’t pay the electric bill and they couldn’t shut it off in the winter but could in the spring and that’s how my family caught up on the bill. We were also told ghosts called the house phone because bill collectors called “800” numbers and we were told it said “Boo”. Go this day when I see an 800 number I call if a boo number. Being comfortable is about being wise with your money. This OP has great advice, not always for me but great for anyone learning financial literacy. Everyone can make changes to be comfortable. Rich is a state of mind. I remember the first time I went grocery shopping and realized I could literally buy anything I wanted and it wouldn’t lead to eating ketchup packets later in the month. A million dollars back then seemed like unlimited money, now I realize it’s not a ton of money. And honestly billionaires don’t have a billion dollars in the bank, they have it in assets. Focus on you, focus on your family and create generational wealth. Instead of tearing others down, build yourself up ❤

    Tbf tho there’s a MASSIVE difference… like millionaires are often just like someone’s dad with an ok job and a decent 401k match. Billionaires on the other hand are yknow, billionaires. Another way of thinking about it: I have an internship at a F500 firm right now, and I’d say about 50% of those over 50 in my office are “millionaires,” on the other hand we have NO billionaires in our company. Our CEO has just under $100 million. Ultimately people will draw the line in the sand wherever they want, but I think that there’s definitely a fairly large distinction between being fortunate enough to have a nice job and being fiscally responsible and literally being Elon Musk (or really anyone with $10-20 million)

    The current billionaires can easily get by with 900 or 800 million dollars. If they can't, then they clearly shouldn't be a billionaire or millionaire. The core problem is that the billionaire and multimillionaire classes have convinced Americans the myth of trickle-down economics. Plus, the lower classes don't want to be taxed if they "make it big" somehow.

Also, these people aren’t sitting around with billions of dollars in their Chase account. They took the thousands they had and invested it which grew to millions which grew to their companies which they then invested their millions into their companies and became billionaires. They are business people by trade. Anyone with that kind of money deserves to do with it as they wish. If they want to distribute it to those without, that should be their decision not the government.

    When you get to $1 million after many years you realize that people who have $10 million and more likely inherited money, have or had a business, made a lot of money in their career, invested very early or are old. It takes a long time to go from $0 to $10 million much less $100 million. If you want to compress that time you need to do something that brings in a lot of money quickly. Another thing to realize from all of this is that wealthy people don't have all of their wealth sitting as cash in the bank. Most of it is tied up in investments.

    You really don’t get it. If the economy wasn’t so corrupted by the 1% who exploit poor workers and cheat taxes, manipulating the system, the enormous wealth inequality and lack of opportunities wouldn’t exist, reducing poverty and removing the need for all these “philanthropic” ventures. No billionaire gets to that point by being ethical and paying their fair share. Without the MASSIVE amounts of exploitation and robbery from the poor working class majority, those 1%ers would never be able to accumulate those levels of wealth. It’s basic economics. Also, every act of ‘charity’ or ‘foundation’ rich people set up give them HUGE tax write offs and benefit them personally in several ways, otherwise they wouldn’t do those things, they would lose their wealth if they were truly being selfless and charitable.

    This sentiment is the underpinning of Trickle Down Economics, which has been proven to not work on the macro level. It benefits a small portion of economic actors while not benefiting the majority of actors. Most of that money exists in luxury goods which do not infiltrate the economy in the same way that consumer goods do. Or it's in some investment scheme building more and more zeros, with little actual impact. It's been proven that if you give me (for example) $10,000 it will generate at least $25,000 in economic growth (I buy groceries, IGA pays workers, workers buy clothes....). Give $10,000 to someone who is at the billionaire level, it isn't noticeable and generates less than $12,000 in growth. {It's been a while since my econ degree, so numbers may have shifted w/ inflation).
