It is probably easier to be a millionaire if you do not feel the need to socialize with other millionaires, live where they live, do what they do, send your kids to the same exclusive schools etc.
Of course, without networking with other millionaires, becoming a millionaire is a bit harder...
On yet another hand, a millionaire living in the well-to-do coastal communities of California might actually still be financially insecure, while a not-yet-quite millionaire living in rural Montana may be secure for life.
I am instinctively drawn towards the rural Montana thing, but mainly because I am introverted anyway.
It’s more like 3 or 4 years due to taxes, even if you don’t spend your money. Feels like government is hellbent on making sure you don’t become a millionaire.
Earn over $1/2 million a year.
Work for 2+ years.
The only lesson seems to be don't spend your money.
