Very important message.
The investment banker getting paid 200k per year in NYC is still closer to being homeless, than being a millionaire.
If you need to work to live, you are working class.
Some of the working class is underpaid and struggle daily, while some have more money and live fairly easy (until they lose their job). The capitalists owning the companies we work at have nothing in common with us, and they like when we hate each other, instead of them or the system.

They are a millionaire though. It’s just that that means nothing anymore.
A million bucks is a million away from zero, but it’s 999 million away from a billion.
It’s like the old saying goes “a millionaire is still about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire” .
Hey, I too am about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire. I suppose that means I’m a millionaire! Woo hoo
Millionaires, thousandaires, and hundredaires are all about a billion dollars away from being billionaires.
