This is why I've been buying equities as fast as I can since I started working. Only been a few years but I'm loving it so far.

  Yup, feels good when you cross the million dollar mark ASAP rather than building it up toward some distant future where you retire. Feels like I have more cushion for changing times. And a million dollars ain’t even what it used to be. Feels like there’s more and more millionaires these days.

      Yea I get it. When several people are actively optimizing for becoming millionaires quickly, eventually being a millionaire ain’t shit. It used to be that you had to do something extraordinary to become a millionaire. Now all you need to do is have a high paying job and invest heavily in the right stocks for a few years to get there.

        > When several people are actively optimizing for becoming millionaires quickly, eventually being a millionaire ain’t shit. It is not because people are optimizing for becoming millionaires. Everyone has always been optimizing for more power. It is because the federal government, which controls the currency, decided to increase the supply of currency, which shows up as increased asset values.
