There are people on this board who think $1 million dollars is "making it"
I dont need to live like a king I just dont want to wage slave for the next 20 years of my life. 1 million is enough for that.
>1950: $1 mil = $1 mil
>2019: $1 mil = $100k
1000% fucking this.
For me it is. If I put that into a dividend yielding ETF I could live of the dividends and wouldn't have to work ever again.
normalfags are truly strange. in truth, even $400k is making it. if you can't escape the consoom mindset with $1MM, you won't escape it with $10MM either so you're fucked either way until you work on yourself
Literally this, live off passive income. 20k a year would be enough for me even, I live a very frugal life.
1million dollar is enough for 50 to 100k per year doing nothing, your money is workin for you. Majority of wage slaves dont make that much in year. So yes 1mil is enough for making it.
No shit it's worth less than 50 years ago but it's still enough if you're not an absolute retard who buys pointless shit.
1MM NET WORTH =! 1MM CASH
one is making it, the other is hitting the "lottery"
1$ mil is still "making it" in a sense that you can live frugally like a poorfag but you don't have to wageslave for it.
to properly "make it" as in becoming a richfag without having to wageslave you need at the very least 20m, 50m would be better
$400k isn't shit. That's like $16k/yr max using the 4% safe withdrawal rate. You definitely didn't make it if the guy taking your order at McDonald's is making more than you. That's not even addressing consoomer lifestyle. The cheapest place outside of the ghetto is going to be about $700/mo for a small house in a small town. You got $146.15 a week after rent according to what you call making it. Better give up on making it and start a business or pick up a job. After food that's maybe $90/wk. If you have a car you're down another $500 at least. Gas isn't free either. Assuming a tank lasts a month that's up to 768.8 just for gas and insurance. Gonna need oil to do your oil changes. Life is not cheap and $400k won't do shit for making it, as it giving you financial independence. When we talk of making it we don't mean still waging or running a business. Most of us have interests, hobbies, dreams. If you want to wage or run a business there is no need to make it. You have everything you need for happiness right now.
I'm a stoic minimalist, $1 million is more than enough for me
Your dreams have been ruined by the brr-machine the fed have been running 24/7 for the past months. Dollar will be worthless and americucks will pay the price
Living like you are poor isn’t making it
>Living like you are poor
>1mm
Great insight poorfag
You can make do even more if you wagie only part-time to supplement yourself with more income. It's not as ideal but waging only a few days a week is soooo much better than working full-time.
You are the poorfag if you think you can live comfortably off 1M. Clearly you have never had money or had to pay for anything.
i think that as long as you don't have to wagecuck you've made it, regardless of the lifestyle
Most of you have bullshit. Your "interests" and "dreams" are pure fantasy that you daydream about for aesthetic purposes but wont actually put the work necessary to successful. If you need millions in the bank before you can pursue your passion it is not really a passion.
living like the average person without really working for it? sounds like making it
being able to tell employers to fuck off is also a good deal
We just have different definitions of making it, then.
This. Might as well get neet bux if your only aim is to not have to work.
i see "making it" as a threshold, after which you don't have to wagecuck and you can keep a decent lifestyle.
1m is bare minimum, the more the better of course, but everything above it is "making it" imo
The real reason most people want to "make it" is because money is a status symbol. Whether they intend to flaunt the money or keep it hidden people on here secretly see a big number in their portfolio as a way of increasing their self worth and proving that they arent a loser

So doesn't even count housing? top lel
You really have no idea what you are talking about. I brew with electric boilers I built myself. They do the job but I'd get better beer if I had more time and more money to build the thing. Using plastic for a boiler makes better beer than you can get in a store but I'm using gravity to transfer, ice and copper to cool the wort, and fermenting in plastic vessels. Steel and glass are better at keeping oxygen out than air is. Air even has oxygen in it for fucks sake. There is no aesthetic with hobbies because hardly anyone else is aware of it unless you carry around a photo album and give presentations on what you're doing to strangers. A fruitless endeavor because people won't even understand half the words you use. You'd understand if you had passions, but you can't say we don't have it just because you don't. What does a natural slave know about people with agency? The fact you even mention a hypothetical need for millions before engaging in activities shows you have no fucking clue what I'm talking about. Need doesn't even enter the equation because hobbies aren't a need. Non-npc's enjoy building and creating things. It's innately human. You must lead a very sad life if this is so foreign to you.
That's a normalfag mindset. Most people here don't really care about such things. The fact they're posting on such an uncool website for racists weeaboos should have been your first clue.
Not everyone lives in the city shithole like you. Enjoy your san fransisco los angeles faggot. You can live comfy off 1mm if you're not braindead or a nigger.
hello fren im retar
do i want the 1m net worth or the cash in this scenario?
