      Hence “with all due acknowledgement” because I understand that 10 mil is nothing, comparatively.

      But I also understand that, to the Amazon warehouse worker with a net worth of a few thousand, or the disabled person who isn’t allowed to have a net worth greater than 2 thousand, 10 mil is a a fuck ton of money. You know, comparatively.

        Y’all mfs are in the thousands? I can’t save more than 500 bucks without the universe creating that exact amount in a surprise expense as soon as I’ve saved it.

          Yeah, hypothetically anyway. I technically count as being “in the thousands” because I own my home and car but I have no savings, no retirement, and have only 3 digits in my bank account which will go down to 2 digits soon enough.

          That’s the tricky thing about “net worth.” It can be a very descriptive way of measuring things.

      For real, a couple of nice vehicles, a couple of properties, a business of 30-50 employees, and maybe a small team of domestic employees cleaners, sitters, contractors, security… thats what 10mil buys you. and im stretching it.

      basically described my boss, minus the cleaners , sitters and security guards thing. (and his business is a modest sized car dealership…)
