Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist

  Nope, not a billionaire. But I can see a path to it and yes, work is what it takes. But one needs to have the right understanding of work and what that means to do it and scale what work is for you.

    Ridiculous.

    In the USA you have an average annual income of 65k. From which you pay rent and living each month.

    You need to be lucky in investment to be able to retire at 65 with just s million dollars.

    You are talking about BILLIONS!

      You’re making the wrong investments then. You don’t get wealthy by gently contributing to a 401(k) and hoping for insane appreciation. Average US citizen works a full-time job, 9-5 probably right? Then what do they do with their 5-9? Are they doing things that align themselves with actions that are more likely to make them more money, or are they spending earnings on distractions?

        I don’t know, how about actually living a life?

        Hear that, lower class? All you have to do to become a billionaire is not spend money on distractions! If you do that using your two minimum wage jobs, and also don’t spend anything on rent or food, then it will only take you 33,156 years to become a billionaire! It’s really that easy, you just have to know how to “work”.
