The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.

Also if you've ever drank a latte or eaten a piece of Avacado toast, you might as well just find a dumpster to live in for the rest of your life, there's no coming back from that economically.

Step 1: have billionaire parents

Step 2: inherit an absolutely obscene amount of money

How to become a millionaire in two steps:

Step 1: save 10k every year.
Step 2: do this for 100 years.

There was one really staggering statistic I saw in the past few months, and I'm only paraphrasing here, but it some something along the lines of "If you were to collect and save $17 per second every second since Columbus set sail and (accidentally) discovered the Americas, you'd have almost as much money as Musk has lost on Twitter in the past six months."

How to become a billionaire:

1. Get a trillion dollars
2. Spend it

the average person will make just shy of 2 Million dollars. that is assuming you never spend any money and don't pay taxes.

I should have thought of this sooner dangit

If the money is invested and gets an 8% return, then only 57 years (Assuming monthly contributions.)

Yeah, can't get that much without some serious compound interest on investments.

Why it's elementary, my dear Stamets.
