>be (single) millionaire
>feel broke
i hate inflation

you need several million now to get what just one million used to get you
after accounting for inflation, including the inflation they don't tell you about (price of housing, etc.), I'd say you need $5,000,000 to live an equivalent lifestyle as a bottom barrel millionaire in the 2000s

One million dollars is literally nothing.

It feels like $0 to me. I just have to keep NW >= $1m and that's my new $0.

whatever happens, whatever you acquire
you will be unhappy
life is that simple

>>60693004
this is so real it makes me feel sick

>>60692889 (OP)
that's why we often have posters on biz that say 1 million dollars is fucking nothing like this guy >>60692919

When Boomers talked about being a millionaire it was worth 4x what it is today

now do 2000
I still need to get like 2.5 to be a real milly though

I have just gotten to ten million and am still fucking struggling. How much to finally say fuck it and not have to work!?

>>60693025
Would you faggots rather not have any money? What a stupid take.

I am doing a reno on a 20m beachside penthouse rn. A realtor brought some people to look at it, some flavor of Europe couple, funny accents, late in life, with an Indian woman who i assume was their assistant. Now I've done quite a bit of these luxury properties at this point and im serious when I say this was one of if not the best veiw ive ever seen. The couple was escorted up to the window, immediately scoffed and asked to be taken to a different property.

Basically, 1m dollars is fucking nothing

>>60693332
how are even indians getting 1m though? I had to work for mine as a white man

>>60693332
If you aren’t interested in luxury properties or cars, $1 mil is plenty. Boomers seem to think $1 mil is the minimum you need to buy their lifestyle, but a condo and passive income could be had easily to make life easier for a single

People think the penthouse is about looking down on the poors, all the little ants scurrying around, but not really. Its about looking down on all the other penthouses in slightly shorter buildings

>>60693420
I guess that’s why I have always been able to save a lot no matter what my income. I never got much enjoyment over luxury items. And you’re right, people that are hooked on them are always looking to the next thing that is just out of reach, and they will be working all their lives to get it

>>60692907
Correct. Living on $1M in assets gets your enough to pay property taxes on a shitty house, a mediocre car every 7-10 years, a weekly trip to Longhorn steakhouse and a twice a year plane ticket to see your grandkids.

$5M gets you a decent house, a decent car, ability to fly (coach) and travel to basic 4/5 star destinations and eat at good restaurants, with regular maid cleanings.

>>60692907
wtf are you people spending so much on
once i 10x and have 2 million i'll be fine
you have a spending addiction

>>60693409
It really isn't to live on forever. You get $20k-$50k a year on a mil. That's liveable in like a "I sit at home and play vidya and go to the gym" lifestyle. I spend more than that a year on restaurants and whole foods.

>>60692889 (OP)
It's definitely not nothing, but it's also not a lot. People can't look at it like "the end goal" at this point.

I have a little over 1M NW and I could physically not retire now. I'd need at least 3-4M to cover expenses, healthcare, emergencies, etc. And even then, you're not living a super high-class lifestyle with that.

>>60692889 (OP)
I have 6 figs, but I still feel like I don't have shit, and that all my years here were a waste of time
Even though I have things giving me some profits like npc while I'm at work, I still feel like I'm wasting time
