And if I’m wrong and everyone is actually doing it, how is it sustainable in the long run? I mean, we can’t all be millionaires.

    A large number of us CAN be millionaires.

    It’s actually technically correct that we all can be millionaires, at least on a household basis. The mean household wealth in the US was $1.06 million as of 2022, by now it’s undoubtedly higher. So with a full redistribution of wealth every household would have over $1 million.

    In reality though the median household wealth is just under $200k as of 2022, and doesn’t rise as consistently so who knows where it is now.
