    You’re a wage slave regardless unless you’re rich or lucky: Gotta have money to eat, get healthcare, have shelter, etc

      Rich get richer. Had some recent inheritance roll to an IRA, looking at mutual funds to put it into until I’m required to withdraw it. There are ones tracking at 30-45% returns month after month while the economy is in the shitter. Want in? Minimum purchase amount for those funds is $100,000-250,000. The funds normal people can afford pull down more like 15% RoR on aggressive investments, which are super volatile.

      You have to be wealthy to get wealthy. 99% of us are getting fucked by the 0.1% - the 1% just happen to have enough money to get into the lower levels of the game, but the 0.1% have investment options we’ll never be party to.

      It’s amazing how many people will simp for these billionaires like Musk, and claim they’re “in the game” with their investments and net worth. They’re not. If your net worth is less than mid eight figures, you’re not in the game, you’re a rounding error.
