Nemo (the happy leftist)How rich people get rich
NomadicNerd (StoleUrSweetroll)@manicbanjo depends on your definition of rich. Im finally getting near the 6 figure ceiling through hard work and a lot of tears and perseverance and sacrifices. Was super close to it last year. That’s rich to me.
@NomadicNerd good for you but at six figures you still have more in common with a homeless person than you do with a billionaire, and unless your relationship to capital is that of an owner (small business owners can exploit workers too) then this meme isn't about you.
Do you realize the unfathomable amounts of money people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have? One does not just accumulate a billion dollars by "working hard," they do it by profiting off of other people's work.
Korgie D. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@NomadicNerd @manicbanjo I hit a little over 100k this past year in my late 30s. Child me would've thought this was amazing. But at this point in life, it's still quite difficult for me to do things like buy a house and I cannot afford a fancy car (not that I want one; I hate cars). I could take some vacations I guess, but I'd be working with a budget if I do. You did say depends on your definition-yes, but I definitely don't feel rich, personally. (But I do know many people have it FAR worse.)
