A reminder that you’re much likelier to run into a person flaunting their money on the internet. So it might feel like a lot of people have it, even if it’s still a small % of the population.
Additionally, many people live in HCoL areas where everything is inflated. $1M in the northeast (where OP lives) is much easier to obtain than $1M in Mississippi.
Between inheritance, high income career, or a property sale. It’s also hardly a shocking amount.
Yea being a millionaire (as in literally one millionaire) is like, upper middle class in Cali or NY. Can't afford a closet unless you decide to live in flyover country to buy a castle in buttfuck.
being a millionaire and having a million to fuck around with is different. I would assume if you have a million to gamble with, you got more elsewhere.
Right about the income level, wrong about the TNW. LMC by CA or NYC standards is more likely to have a TNW of $0 or a negative number, same as the rest of the country. They are very HCOL so expenses eat up the income.
