£5 million by 40. Enough to buy a fantastic house and create generational income.
Don’t think the sacrifices necessary to become a billionaire is worth it.
£5mn, enough to buy a "fantastic" house AND create generational wealth? lmfao
Not really sure why you’re laughing. Obviously location matters but there’s pretty nice houses for 2-3 million. Leaving 2 million to invest for the long term. Which you could probably be at maybe $6-8mm by 70. Also, they never said they’d stop working.
I’ll never tell🤭
Brain rot
however much it costs to have a sick beach house, travel wherever and whenever i want, wlb and some kind of porche convertible would be plenty
Nah fuck that, as soon as I hit GBP 4.5m I'm retiring in SEA. Never having kids either
Have a family member who is a billionaire, and they did it in a relatively straight forward way. Feel like I could follow the same strategy but it takes a ton of sacrifice, risk, and time. Much harder to achieve in the U.S.
why comment that if you’re not gonna tell us?
Because the most straightforward way involves paying off government officials
Why is it harder in the US?
