Of course because of inflation, the younger guys have an advantage.  When did you earn your first $million?

I realized today that I did in 2008. :D

I don't have much to show for it though. :laugh

A million doesn't buy what it used to. I remember in high school, '74, they said 1 out of every 100 people would be millionaires. They never said what the other 99 would be.

Anybody ever watch the show on I think on Discovery Channel, about past Lotto and Powerball winners. Shows how many were handed millions and are broke in a year or less. Almost sad.

That happens a lot you just don't hear about it, people get nuts when they get money and don't realize how quick it can go away when you just blow it away!..
