It takes at least $10 million to feel rich
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
Setting the bar at ten million costs a person every year they already had enough. The mortgage is gone and the arithmetic at checkout stopped. That is what wealth feels like when it arrives. Ten million buys a bigger reference group with bigger boats, and the gap reopens. The number climbs as fast as the balance. Nobody arrives.
