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.
Same! I have been able to save money exactly three times in my life, and every time I got to those points, either my car needed repairs for something or new tires, an animal gets sick and needs my immediate attention, or even my own health is at risk.
The universe has never treated me very kindly, although it does throw me some crumbs every once in awhile.
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 deceptive way of measuring things.
Edit: is the autocorrect error why I was getting down votes? I can’t figure out what else people would be objecting to :(
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…)
Dude 10 mil is like LA upper middle class

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone!
We should be rioting
I know. Most people are happy to be blissfully ignorant though, so the numbers would be very hard to get.

I’m pretty sure it still puts him in the top 5% of our population by net worth
