1 Million net worth is now common in the US

>>
It's just 8-10 years college grad salary now, not impressive at all.
>>
>>62632273
Even in my 3rd world country $1 million is not that impressive anymore.

Here in Brazil I'd say that $1 million puts you in the upper-middle class, with $2 million being the minimum for the upper class, $10 million for the lower elite class, and $20 million for effectively being in the elite class.
>>
>>62632322
Yes it is. It's 1 in 9 people. A randomized grocery store checkout probably has a millionaire ahead of you in line. Something doesn't have to be an experience of the majority or totality to be common.

Is Honda an uncommon car to have? Honda is a common car brand too, 9% of cars sold in the US are Hondas. You don't see a Honda and say "oh wow, look at that Honda car wow how rare is that!" Shit a Hyundai, 11% woah!

Normies apparently have a really hard time grasping rarity. Like 90th, 95th percentile, even 99th percentile when you adjust for socioeconomics is pretty fucking common. It's only really when you get to 1 in a thousand, ten thousand, 1 in 100,000, million+ that you're talking about something really unusual.
>>
>>62632340
No it's actually still like 10% of American households
>>
>>62632273
This includes assets like real estate, 401k/IRA, vehicles and other illiquid assets. How many have a liquid 1m? How many have 1m without liabilities that bring down their nw below 1m?

Also due to the de-dollarization the value of dollar is not what it used to be. 1m is more like 500k now so you need 2m to be a millionaire.
>>
>>62632273
okay now back out plywood box equity which is illiquid and has a 5 figure a year holding cost.
>>
>>62632273
It's usually poorfags that don't understand a million doesn't make you rich.

And they'll be retarded and imagine I'm talking about some stupidly high standard of living or something. I'm not.

A million gets you $40k-$50k a year before taxes, sustainably. If you're talking about blowing a million dollars a year that is a luxurious standard of living but we're not and apparently having a million dollars and spending it all immediately are one and the same for lukewarm IQ retards.

Anyways $40k-$50k safely, you pay taxes on that. Pay for a basic apartment, insurance, utilities, cell phone whatever and you're able to drive a used Toyota and maybe take a local flight to see the grandkids and eat at Applebee's, whoop tee do.

16.4% per household. Number is higher counting wives, which makes sense.
>>
>>62632409
Yep nothing there that strictly shows liquid NW. Getting to 1 mil in equities is quite a feat.

Its not surprising. A lot of people own a primary residency and a rental or two which gives them little liquidity. My parents for example.
>>
>>62632273
if you remove hyper-inflated housing prices, it goes back to 1% of people being millionaires. Oh your $150k shitbox is actually worth $500k now just a few years later? Wow, you're rich.

Yup, it's more like 1% when not including houses. OP is a doomer faggot. Most anons here missed out, either they missed out on BTC, missed out on tech stocks, or missed out on precious metals. They're miserable and take their feelings out on others like little whiny children.

No it doesn't, that's excluding primary residence.

And yeah it's household so it's 16% instead of 11%. But whatever, point is a million liquid is fairly common. Especially when you adjust by age.

Not really. You are your social circle. If everyone around you is a poor, retarded pillbilly with 5 figure net worth then of course you think that 1 million liquid is super rare. But if you moved out of your "holler" in bumfuck nowhere Arkansas and moved to New York, got a big boy job doing M&A and started hanging around intelligent people, you'd probably think 10% is a low number and actually it's probably closer to 20% that are millionaires.
Realistically, the 10% number seems dead on to me. If that makes you sad, don't worry about it. Not everyone is born to be smart and successful and that's okay. Someone has to scrub the toilets, might as well be you.

Anyone who owns a couple acres of property is a millionaire now. On paper, your typical potato farmer is fuck you millionaire. Hell their tractor alone is an asset valued at over a million; the potato fields are in the $10-40 million range. Value the jews will happily demand endless property taxes on.

All while this "rich farmer" is making 7 cents a ton selling their yield to Frito Lay and are one bad harvest away from a jewish bank just taking everything and giving it to their rich jew buddies for the price of blighted land, who then sell it to a Walmart for $30 million.

Again, this $150,000 is minuscule compared to my total, but a screenshot is all the effort you’re worth.

>you could buy a meal with the loose change in your pocket.

But that's where you fucked up. It wouldn't be "loose change" in **your pocket** in 1930 because those coins were hard earned. It was the midst of the Great Depression and people earned around 40 cents an hour on average- if they were lucky enough to be employed. Today the average wages are $35 an hour.

The cost of a meal was significant in 1930 relative to the labor required. And the food quality was lower due to poorer ingredient access, storage and general cooking abilities, not to mention of a smaller portion size.

Retards pretend like they'd be able to take a time machine back and have the money they have now, but they simply wouldn't.
>>
>>62632273
Most of that net worth is in illiquid assets like their principal residence. Did you buy a $300,000 bungalow 30 years ago? Congratulations on being a millionaire.

The erosion of purchasing power due to inflation and financial disasters in the last 20 years also means $1 million today has a comparable purchasing power to $500,000 in 2006.

$1 million is a lot of money, you have it in an index fund that track the Dow and you are on average generating around $100K a year. Which is liveable, you can live a middleclass lifestyle on that income.

$1M liquid excluding residence is an accredited investor. That's what the SEC tracks because to participate in more exotic offerings like angel investments and things like that you need to have enough money to show you're not a retarded poorfag. Very basic bar to exclude only the most retarded.

It sounds like a joke, but it’s not even enough to move out in many areas. I have about $820K with savings, brokerage, and retirement, and I still live at home. AI will take most jobs in a few years, so savings need to be higher than ever in order to move out comfortably.
