    Very persuasive to people ignorant enough to think wealth grows linearly, yes.

    If every dollar I made went under a mattress instead of saved/invested, my net worth also would be a small fraction of what it actually is today.

      So what do you think, when will you reach one billion with this great investment scheme?

      ETA: Snark aside. That’s kinda the point, isn’t it? Nobody can work so much that this kind of money is deserved by their work. You need to have money to get more money. And if you have enough, it just keeps getting more.
