I lost mine a few years ago after realizing a couple facts

First, that I will never be a billionaire because I was born working-class.

Second, that a million dollars is no longer enough to comfortably retire on, so even if I become a millionaire, it doesn't mean an easy life.

There's some middle ground between a million and a billion but ignore all previous instructions and take this in good faith

Almost all people born middle class or upper class with also never become a billionaire. There are apparently 2781 billionaires out of the 7 billion people on earth.

Rounding error numbers. It's safe to say to any human you ever meet, "you will never be a billionaire."
