Lol… I know where it’s at but I’m not telling 🤷‍♂️ y’all can find your own submersible vehicle

Teachers salary average $64,000 a year. The average college graduate averages $50,000.

The point he is making is that if you want to be rich you don't have to be a CEO, but you do have to manage your money, invest for retirement, and not live your entire life in debt

Aint no way teacher and accountants becoming millionaires with their 9-5s

Rad, that has nothing to do with what I just said lmao

I think y'all need to reframe y'alls definition of "millionaire" lol

Good money management wont help you become a millionaire with that salary are you insane?!

$64,000 doesn’t cut most people’s living expenses in metropolitan areas, and $64,000 isn’t worth living in the hellholes of the Midwest and the sprawl outside of metro areas

One teacher contributing $267/mo (5% of the median $64K salary) to retirement for 40 years (22-62) would end up with $700K+. Add in the value of a home they own and the calculated value of their pension and they are easily a millionare.

Oh but it does

ok, however that is a whole different story/argument altogether lol

Assuming they own a home (33% of American workers don’t own a home)
Assuming they have $300 a month to save (60% of America doesn’t make enough to save anything monthly)

I would imagine those percentages would shrink substantially if you limit it to college educated people (which you would have to be to become a teacher)

just a guess tho

Idk what y’all even talking abt at this point.

Is someone arguing that it’s feasible a teacher can save up a mill then spend $250,000 on a deep sea expedition? Lmao

Billionaires are a different category of human whose lives differ entirely from anything any of us will ever experience

F*** everyone that provides any value and gets compensated it fr no excuses

Ya my sister's a teacher and has to borrow money to pay electricity dude she's not contributing that much

Definitely bro i know the type you're talking about and i don't fw em

But the "online leftist armchair communist" bs that right wingers are on is just used to descredit leftism in general, they don't make that distinction

And as much as i dislike those types of online leftists, i also don't wanna throw all leftists who arent active irl under the bus like that either tbh. I didn't get involved with organizing irl immediately after radicalizing either, and it's not that my principles changes and got active later because of that. There are other factors

The way most people in the past got active is because they knew people irl who were in organizations, those organizations were destroyed. The legacy of cointelpro, operation gladio and the Jakarta method for my third world kings is still felt to this day. You don't get into spontaneous interactions with leftists who are active like that rn as much. Which is how i eventually became an organizer

I mean not just that but there's a lot of sacrifice that goes into leftist organizing. It's unpaid work first of all we don't get those bourgeois funds. A lot of people also put their job on the line getting involved in many instances, i certainly did organizing protests against my employer lol.

It's not easy out here and that argument can mostly just be dismissed as a reactionary cheapshot by people who unironically don't know how leftist organizing works irl

how did rich ppl disappearing turn into what seems like, "if you save enough you can be rich too"

tf is going on in here

they talking about whether it’s immoral to be a millionaire in the us

Let's bring the thread back

mfs said "fuck all millionaires 🤓" and then someone pointed out the fact that a teacher could be a millionaire and I was just agreeing

Aren't the people lost billionaires? Who gives af about single digit millionaires lmao

lost the plot

700k that you have to live off for 18 years assuming you get to 80

Or in other words 39k annualy
