But it's only an illusion. An average American household makes about 50k a year. That's 4176 USD a month. Account for all the taxation and basic expenses (stuff you absolutely cannot go without) and you've lost almost all of it.
Now, let's assume you want to hit a million. Not a humble goal, but after that, you can at least call yourself semi-rich.
If you were able to cut off 1000 dollars each month (which you aren't but let's assume you are), you'd need a thousand months to hit a million. That's 83 years. Since you are only work-capable at the age of 16, going that way, you would earn your first million at the age of 99.
But that's not accounting for:
>high school and college that you'd need to finish to get any kind of decent job, which puts you back at least one decade
>any extra expenses (birthdays, weddings, funerals, medical bills...)
>any family you may have (this was calculated by the nigh impossible probability of a man living alone)
Average life expectancy in US is 79 years. Average mandatory retirement age is 65. Subtract the minimal age (16), and you're left with 49 years to make it to a million. Not even half of what you'd need with below-minimal spending.
But what about dating?
Take whatever your chances of getting rich are divide them by 1000 or so. There's your chances of succeeding as a non-chad.
