Being a millionaire ain't what it used to be let's be honest. The system is designed to reduce your wealth to nil and pacify you until death, billionaire is the new millionaire.


I think it’s interesting to think about how long the phrase “six digits” has been aspirational, at least the 80s when I was a kid when six digits was the equivalent to 300k today; and yeah, we’ve been talking about “millionaires” since what the 1800s?
