Could you see yourself being a millionaire one day?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, why not

Nah, I doubt it

[goaded]

It doesn't mean anything any more. You can work a middle-class job and become a millionaire. Back in the 1930's, it really meant something, like being able to own your own railway and locomotives for fun (I can't remember the James Bond book that came from!).

Nowadays, millionaire should mean a million a year income.

By that definition, not a chance! By the old one, that's just a 2-3 bedroom flat in a not terrible part of London.

[loveslongnails]

Do you mean is my net worth over a million dollars? Yeah, it is, but so what? It's not that big of a deal, especially you own lots of real estate like I do. If I had a million dollars of disposable income every 12 months, then I'd think of myself as a millionaire. I don't think I'd change my lifestyle much, other than join a different golf club. LOL

[WellBye]

If my parents make the wise decision to leave all their inheritance only to me among their children, then yes, I could become a millionaire.

[FreyaRed]

If I put my real estate together I don't need to imagine anymore.

[Miristheiss]

Of course.

Already on my way and quite close via investments and financial planning.

You can too. Invest early. Get in a 401k, max your contributions.

Compound interest baby. An AMAZING THING. The earlier you start investi g and get your mo ey growing... the better. And the earlier you can retire.

[MrChinaski]

A million dollars ain't what it used to be. I have more wealth than that now and at some point will inherit more than that in the future. Yes, it is nice to not worry about running out of money. But I live a fairly modest life and pinch pennies.

[BADGER44]

A MILLION IS MUCH AT ALL THESE DAYS. A MILLION TODAY IS 250 2 DECADES OR LESS AGO. PEOPLE MAKE OVER 100K. TO 200K. SHOULD ONLY TAKE SOMEONE 5 TO 7 years TO GET TO A MILLION THESE DAYS. THAT shouldn't BE YOUR GOAL. EVERYTHING COSTS 4 TO 7 TIMES MORE THAN IT DID 2 DECADES AGO...

[Anonymous]

Yeah, in about 7 to 10 years at my current rate. It's just a matter of time now.

But when I started this journey (at about your age) a million dollars was a lot of money. Hell when I started you could retire on 500k to 650k. Now where I live you need at least a million to retire (and where I live has a pretty low standard of living). I figure if I retire at 67 I'll need about 1.8million (which I am on pace to surpass, but not by a lot).

[AviatorTom]

My father used to say that making a million was hard, so he was working on the second million. 😉

[aceleon]

unless i hit some sort of luck game thing there isno such thing as changing your echonomic class more than 2 degree.

[emeraldsaphire]

It would be nice, but I don't really feel like putting the work into it. Once you past 100k a year making more money doesn't do much for you.

[exitseven]

Yes, but big deal. A million dollars buys a decent house where I live and does not really fund a retirement for a the long term.

[genericname85]

the only way that's gonna happen is if inflation goes crazy like in the 1930s in germany where i live. that's when you paid like a million deutsche mark for just a bread.

[douride2]

The only way I could see myself becoming a millionaire would be if I won the lottery. There isn't much chance of that happening either because I rarely ever buy a ticket.

[lilBigPotato]

If the inflation keeps going like your I surely will be a millionaire at some point.

[lightbulb27]

Sure, but I can see myself being a ghost one day as well. It be more fun to be a ghost.

[NathanDavis]

not any time soon... that would still, be a problem in this region

[queenofcardio]

Realistically, no. I love spending money 💰 🤑 💸 😋

[ABC1x1x]

The first time i was a millionaire was 10 years ago. Bitcoin. Im worth like 11 Million. I just go to work because my wife doesn't know and if she did we would be in debt in 11 weeks.

[supercutebutt]

So basically, you are poor. You can't spend any of that imaginary "money."

[ABC1x1x]

Im wealthy. I borrow against it to buy cars outright. Slowly pay it back at 4%. I uavent worried about money at all since 2014 and I keep getting more wealthy by accident.

[supercutebutt]

How many cars do you need? I need one.

[ABC1x1x]

I only have 2. 2 sensible cars so nobody would know. I have a 2021 Toyota Highlander and a 2012 Toyotal Camry. I have a motorcycle, no idea what it is, its not a Harley but it in that style. I have a mountin cottage my wife doesn't know about and I bought my house outright a year or two. My wife still thinks I have a mortgage. That was a financially stupid move because my mortgage is only 3% but I was tired of paying bills. I dont really have any other debt to pay down first anyway. Usually you want to pay your high debt down first.

[888theGreat]

1) I am technically
2) A million is not much , epeciially with Trump
3) You don't feel any different after

Now 5 to 10 Million is different

[exitseven]

I suppose you do not remember how we got in this mess?

[888theGreat]

@exitseven Yes Trump's Tariffs his first term

[exitseven]

no, Joe Biden declared war on the oil industry. Gas prices spiked to over 5 bucks a gallon and inflation spiked to 9+% . By the time he was kicked out of office prices had doubled i nthe 4 years he was president.

[DextroShade]

If the Democrats get back into power I am riding the fraud train all the way to the station by starting up fake charities and daycares that get government cash. I will make millions!

[supercutebutt]

Why wait? Ride the Trump meme coin fraud train right now.

[LiamS95]

Technically I am one now but I'm certainly not rich, my house happens to be paid off and it's worth about $2 million.

[linka_pat307]

I see that but I also see myself being unknown millionaire

[jamesgoldman]

No, don't want to deal with the taxman so unless will it on one of the rare lottery tickets then no

[Kelly6]

@Extraterrestrial1999 yes easily if I rearrange my business and all finance

[LiamJHayden]

Millionaire? That is easy. Billionaire would be an achievement.

[LiamJHayden]

The house I inherited from my grandfather is worth many multiples of that on paper.

[Clyde_123]

I want to, but that's a long struggle to achieve it.

[shortster]

If I wasn't autistic, I would probably be one by now.

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

Y, is money there, when u "least" need it..

[DryGermanGuy]

I‘m the Dude, not the big Lebowski. 🤔

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I always hope for that winning lottery ticket lol

[jshm2]

Billionaire, already am a multimiliionire

[RavVid]

Working on it with bitcoin.

[supercutebutt]

Lol 🤣

[RavVid]

@supercutebutt I'll get there.

[Drumlin2001]

Hopeful, but don't expect it

[WonderingManII]

Nah, I doubt it.

[loveyouoak]

Yeah why not (but only in my dream).

[captain_voidwalker]

Not with how much the government taxes my ass

[blackeagle007]

I would love that

[msc545]

Sure, why not?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I'd really like that.

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!!

[BarryLiverstone]

Yeah

[Tomislav7]

Lol No

[jahaims]

Already am

[beefcakebradybatson]

Perhaps.

[Vera02]

In my fantasy.
