> for every 22 people I pass, either walking on the street or in a packed subway car, statistically one of them is a millionaire—although, if I was a millionaire I’d never deal with the MTA again! There are a lot of ways to become a millionaire, but perhaps the “easiest” is to get a good job in a big city and then live frugally over the course of years or decades. Which is really to say that if 1 in 22 New Yorkers is a millionaire, then it’s pretty likely that far better than 1 in 22 New Yorkers that ride the subway are millionaires.
