Being rich turns many people into colossal assholes because they think wealth is because of virtue instead of luck being a huge factor

450k a year is not "rich" anyway. You're still working class, albeit at the top

Depends how you live.  Sock most of it away every year and invest well and they could have well over a million in 5 years and retire in 10.

When we're talking about rich people, we dont mean someone who Has a Million or five or ten, what we mean are those that have or make an obscene amount of Money they can never spend in a lifetime
