I feel like this post, and a frequent problem with these types of conversations online, is that it confuses millionaire and billionaire.
You might be able to become a millionaire if you invest in a retirement fund your entire working life. It's basically required to do so if you expect to retire middle class.
But you cannot work or invest your way towards becoming a billionaire. You can only get there by being extremely wealthy to begin with.
Or through really hard work, right? Like if you worked really, really hard and maybe visualized it?
I put become a billionaire on my mood board!
Three whole months from homelessness??? Wow talk about wealthy! /s
A big part of this is people not living within their means.
I keep hearing about people making 6 figures a year living paycheck to paycheck and honestly I have no sympathy.
You don't need that brand new car that has $600/month payments. You don't need a 3 story house. You don't need every luxury under the fuckin sun.
Live within your means and you'll rarely go wanting.
This is coming from someone who's been legitimately poor their whole life. If you can't make it with that much money it's your own fuckin fault.
Yeah Ive tried to use this exact argument but it hasn't had any traction yet. I live in a deep red county in a deep red state
