    Hence “with all due acknowledgement” because I understand that 10 mil is nothing, comparatively.

    But I also understand that, to the Amazon warehouse worker with a net worth of a few thousand, or the disabled person who isn’t allowed to have a net worth greater than 2 thousand, 10 mil is a a fuck ton of money. You know, comparatively.

      Y’all mfs are in the thousands? I can’t save more than 500 bucks without the universe creating that exact amount in a surprise expense as soon as I’ve saved it.

        Yeah, hypothetically anyway. I technically count as being “in the thousands” because I own my home and car but I have no savings, no retirement, and have only 3 digits in my bank account which will go down to 2 digits soon enough.

        That’s the tricky thing about “net worth.” It’s can be a very descriptive way of measuring things.
