Right on! I've told a few people this myself when they say "well his dad gave him a million dollars" and I'm like "really? So each time you get a paycheck you're guaranteed to be a millionaire"? Cause making 1,000,000,000 from 1,000,000 is essentially the same as making 1,000,000 from 1,000. And I guarantee you you're not going to make a million dollars (or if you do it's not because you have 1,000 dollars now)

Dude....not even. $1000 dollars your’e sitting at the kids table. No way to acquire real estate or stock options. Your basically buying an ounce of blow and selling 20 bags. With $1,000,000 you can actually sit at the grown up table and get that money working for you. Not saying it’s easy but at least it’s possible.

That’s ridiculous. Like $1,000 gets you nothing but $1,000,000 buys you a seat at the big boys table and guarantees you a billion (thousand million)

You can’t sit at the big boys table with $1,000. But you can’t sit at the super big boys table with $1,000,000 either.

Yes, it takes a long time to go from $1,000 to $1,000,000 with lots of incremental transactions along the way all with the potential for loss...

just like it takes lots of time, skill, and savvy to go from $1,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 with lots of incremental transactions along the way all with the potential for loss.

Trump starting with a million dollars in no way guaranteed he’d end up with a billion.

But that’s the argument you seem to be making... “because he got to sit at the big boys table”

And you literally said going from a milllion to a billion was passionless. Like Trump hasn’t shown more passion than almost any public figure you could conceivably name. Both in his presidency and even before (there’s a reason he was a household name)

Give me a break
