  • it’s becoming truer everyday that $1m is not enough to be considered “rich” thanks to inflation. the avg age of a millionaire in the US is 62 (approx retirement age for most countries in the world). if a 62yo owns their house and has enough to retire in the US, there’s a large chance they’re a “millionaire”.
