I’d like to be a millionaire, but that is an method to achieve another goal, not the goal itself.
I’d like to vertically farm algae on an industrial scale as an atmospheric carbon sink, and additionally see if there is any way to do so profitably while remaining carbon negative. 1 million dollars would probably be enough to construct a small facility and hire the staff and experts I would need to figure this out.
“Millionare/billionaire” as an identity should be an insult.
Anybody with an industrial mindset will bare minimum want to take any large amount of liquid asset and turn it into production. Build and improve factories, fund research, improve living conditions near your operations. Having money acruing interest can be part of that, but should not be your primary revenue stream.
Being a millionaire is a good goal if you want to be able to retire before you’re ancient. You need something like that just to live. No one needs to be a billionaire - the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is staggering.
Nobody wants to enter professions that require hard work because it pays pittance relative to popular entertainers, and traditional milestone purchases have become moving targets, so why not gamble it all?
If becoming a millionaire/billionaire is an actual goal for some people, no wonder this planet is fucked.
You pretty much need to be a millionaire if you want to be a home owner in a lot of places, although the problem is the inflated market.
