I said "easier", not "easy".

But even if we tone it down by an order of magnitude or even two, I think it still applies. I think turning $10M into $1B is easier than turning $100 into $10,000, for the same reasons outlined above. Don't underestimate the massive impact it has to be starting at a level where living expenses are of zero concern.



At $100 you can just work for wages until you have more money.


Easier said than done when you have a low-wage job.


Then join the military and build up savings.

You're only stuck in a $100 asset hole if you refuse to do anything about it, or if you intrinsically offer no value to the world.
