I think humans are naturally bad at wrapping our heads around big numbers. Million, billion, and trillion all rhyme in this cute little pattern. It’s easy to lump them together. But hopefully this puts it into a little bit of perspective. At this scale, an American in the top 1% of net worth with $11M isn’t even a PIXEL OF ONE PAGE compared to Elon’s net worth that spans over 10,000 pixels across 10 pages. Wow!
If you want to become a millionaire, living below your means and investing over time is a nearly guaranteed path. If you want to become a billionaire, you basically need to start a company or inherit the money from someone who did.
I like to cover my bases and do both! 🙂
As always, reminding you to build wealth by following the two PFC rules: 1.) Live below your means and 2.) Invest early and often.
