    And Cuban is fond of saying that anyone building wealth from nothing who tells you luck wasn’t involved is lying.

    Rather than agreeing to lower pay and poor working conditions, why not demand better by using your father’s influence as the head of a top fortune company to simply buy out your workplace and skim the payroll of your fellow workers into your own account.

      Yeah, I never thought of doing that. Now i know what I’ve been doing wrong. Your coworkers hate this one simple trick to becoming a millionaire.

    Getting a little interest free loan of a few million from your family also helps.

    It’s certainly possible to earn yourself into being a millionaire without fraud. You need more than a million dollars just to retire in the US.

    Billionaires are another story entirely.

      Maybe if you skipped the avocado toast every now and then you could afford to pull some upvotes from your bootstraps or something

    This is ridiculously insufficient to become rich!

    I make my own coffee at home, AND I bake my bread myself!

    Beware the next billionaiiiiiire!!!

    Making coffee at home does save you quite a lot if you drink even a decent amount. Won’t make you a millionaire though.

    As someone who doesn’t make coffee at home, I guess it’s the combination of both

    There’s a video I like that talks about how pointless it is to cut minor expenses at the cost of your mental health. If you instead decide to invest an extra 1% a year once a year you will make hundreds of thousands over your life versus saving $2000 a year.

    That won’t work, because you see… When you are born rich, your parents know people who can make any crime go away. When you are not born rich, you don’t get that privilege and you will get made an example.

    Downvoting because of the blue checkmark.

    Sorry for being so pedantic, but I don’t want to support Twitter’s pay-for-engagement system, or anything about Twitter at all, even indirectly through a screenshot.

      Downvoting because of asinine slacktivism. It’s a screenshot posted in a community that’s almost entirely screenshots of tweets. Get a grip.
