      You can work hard for a thousand years straight and you still won’t be a billionaire,
      You gotta exploit really hard

        If you got a million dollars every day, paid no taxes, groceries, mortgage, anything like that, you’d have a little over a billion after three years. If you made that much money from the day you turned 15 to the day you turn 75, for sixty years of hard work, you’d have 22 billion.

        Not 450 like Musk. Not 250 like Bezos. Not 120 like Gates. Nowhere near any of the people you associate with the word Billionaires.

        There is no job that will earn you a million per day, but if there was, it still wouldn’t be enough to reach the top 100 of Bloomberg’s index over a lifetime of work.

          So the secret is to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and work 20 jobs at the same time all paying 1 million a day

          Poor people often work 2 jobs paying minimum wage, that’s 18 jobs too few and 999960$/day/job too little pay

            See, you’ve got it all figured out!

            So get off of Lemmy, those 20 jobs won’t do themselves! You don’t want to be fired, do you?
