- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

You can be 997 millions short from being a billionaire and you'd still be rich though.
Depends where you're getting that valuation from. I wouldn't call farmers rich even if they could technically sell everything they own and live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
But the point is that a billionaire is a whole different animal. You can be rich by every metric and still be as far from being a billionaire as a poor person is from being rich.
The way I see it, once you can live off passive income, you’re rich. I could live comfortably for the rest of my life just on the interest from a million euros. Make it three million and I’d live like royalty.
