Not even in the same ballpark. You're not getting to $100mm in wealth on a $50k salary. But you can be born in to it overnight. Or make that in one day in the market if you're Bezos.
- frockington 8y agoThis is precisely why my goal is to set up my children better than I was and teach them to do the same. As long as I am constantly improving and can share that with my children I am happy. Comparing yourself to others, specifically to the super rich, is not a healthy strategy long term.
