    $14M is in the reach of normal people though. With a good job, judicious spending, and a little investment luck, it’s possible to get there.

    The problem is that most people don’t have a good job.

    No one person can make a BILLION dollars though, without exploiting others.

      No it isn’t people investing and expecting massive ROI are already part of the problem. They are driving companies to generate as much profit as possible.

      You need a salary of 350k a year after tax which is like a 700k salary before tax. Or more likely you need a good company and yeah they will be evaluated for a sale for in the milions, but generally that is incorrectly counted towards your net worth. Since you are counting future income from the company towards your net worth.

      Without a passive income it is difficult to become rich.

      He who is paid by the hour can only trade his time for money.
