    Having a million dollars isn’t even a particularly high bar nowadays … like, you can come from nothing and still have a pretty decent chance (could be better, but y’know) at getting there with normal work.

        1. I don’t live in the US, our brutto wages are maybe half of what you’d get there.

        2. I wrote “pretty decent chance”, not “it’s so easy literally anyone will be able to do it with a little effort”. e.g. you need to not be disabled in a big way. It’s a “pretty decent chance” compared to how “millionaire” used to mean something along the lines of “filthy rich, you can only get there through hereditary wealth, winning the lottery or crime”.

        3. I’m not a scammer, I don’t have anything to prove.
