Title is a bit rough. He's just saying he lost 30 years of his life to work.

A billion a year is something most people would trade for.

I mean, I'd be done after 1, but hey, that's just me.

You don’t get a billion in year 1. You have to grow the business over many years until it starts to pump out cash like that.

True but the moment I got a billion I’d be out

I'd be thinking about whether I had enough money to cruise at like the $10m mark. Maybe I'd stick around a bit longer than that, but $1b is entirely too much money.

I'll play a sad song on the smallest violin. Many people lose their entire lives to shitty jobs, he is out of touch.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Truth. A shitton of people work multiple jobs for 30 years or a lifetime and don’t have $3,000 in the bank.

Hey, same here …checks bank account for $35B … still nope

EVERYONE loses 30 years to "work". So?? Give me 35 billion I'll co.pain too I guess.
