Who here is a millionaire ? (Poll)

[BobbyFK]

Brock Landers claims multi-millions in both stocks and oil

Yet scams unsuspecting 18 yr old posters for $50 a pop and delivers sandwiches on Nfl sundays

I don't believe he delivers anymore

To me “millionaire” suggest you have a liquid net worth of 7 figures - so that ain’t me.

Hell - many parts of the USA you are a millionaire by owning a home these days - not a fancy home, just a 3 bed/2 bath place in a good neighborhood.

Rather than focus on total wealth - the key is focusing on where you are relative to your age/work. A 30 year old surgeon with 50k in the bank is a hell of a lot further along financially than 80 year old elevator operator who saved every penny he ever earned and has a couple of million in the bank. In 10 years the chances that a young doctor will be further along financially are pretty damn good (presuming both still alive).

Just remember - money can’t buy happiness - it can reduce stress, but it can cause it too. Happiest I can remember being was no responsibility, no bills and no savings account. The moment you make a few dollars - the more people begin to rely on you financially and demand “their share”.

I don’t think everyone in this forum is a degenerate broken gambler who couldn’t scrape together $100 for anything that wasn’t gambling related - just the ones whose poster names begin with a couple of J’s and end in Gold.

I really do not want to go in on this too much. But I have had two close friends both commit suicide, one worth well over 50-60 million and the other around 25-30 million. Both confided in me multiple times on how fucked up their lives were and both told me they wanted to kill themselves multiple times. They would always tell how they had a lot less stress and problems after they made their $. I have family members that are very wealthy and are miserable. I have very close friends that are worth a lot of money, not sure, give or take 7-8 million, and are miserable, full blown drug addicts but have the money to sustain their habit and income coming in but are miserable to be around now. Speaking for myself here, I have had a lot of $ and lost a lot of $ and I can only speak for myself, I had a much more peaceful and content life before $ came into the picture. It makes life easier as far as bills go but I am the first person to tell you, it does not buy happiness by any means.

@djefferis great post as always!

The suicide rate or millionaires is a very real thing.

It’s amazing how much higher it is for “wealthy” people vs “poor”.

You would think the opposite - less money/more struggle. But when people think you are wealthy and capable of “helping” them - the stress level increases immensely.

One more reason while I’ll never play the lottery aside from the pool at work (just because I don’t want to be stuck doing everyone else’s work when they quit) - the moment someone knows you have cash - they expect you to share because or of your “friendship”. I have friends of all economic backgrounds and they remain my friends because finances never enter the equation. Lost a lot of friends over relatively small amounts of money - sucks, but better to learn early guess.

The coolest people I know in my life do not have any $ and the ones that do there is something always off. I know tons of people probably hovering around the 1-2 million mark and they are somewhat fine but still problems. My own family is a mess and it is all money related. I have no relation with them due to $, but it is on my end , not theirs.

Money does not define a persons true worth. I know people who have great sums of money and seem to have their priorities in line. I also know people who have money and truly believe they are in a better class then those less fortunate financially. No definitive stereo type for me, I was raised to treat people for who they are as individuals not by color , size , sexual preference, or financial worth. In the context of JD's question, my wife and I have a net worth in excess of $1 million. We live a very average existence and still budget our weekly expenses. I still consider our family the biggest asset we possess. After all , life only has true meaning if you have someone to share it with

21 million pesos is equivalent to one million dollars

Must be some other denomination then. Can’t be dollars.
