    I feel like this post, and a frequent problem with these types of conversations online, is that it confuses millionaire and billionaire.

    You might be able to become a millionaire if you invest in a retirement fund your entire working life. It’s basically required to do so if you expect to retire middle class.

    But you cannot work or invest your way towards becoming a billionaire. You can only get there by being extremely wealthy to begin with.
