Do you know how to fold fitted sheets?

No, and I've tried learning.5%
No, it looks hard.5%
It is sorcery and cannot be done.35%
Ever since I learned to fold fitted sheets, I still get a great sense of joy when I manage to get one to line up pretty well.
It's not even that hard, but it feels like sorcery until you know the trick.
Let's say you make $50K every year after tax. You spend none of it, and it all goes under your mattress.
In 20 years, you'll have a million dollars.
To be a billionaire, you need to make $5 million a year for 200* years, and spend none of it.
And we're not even talking about interest. If you have $1M in investments, with an extremely modest 3% interest rate, that's a passive income of $30K a year, taxed only under capital gains, which is far less than how much you'd be taxed if it were regular income. (Wealthy people often bring in 10%+ interest from their investments.)
$1 billion is an obscene amount of money, even without the interest and tax issues.
*Typo. Not 20 years, 200 years.
You can't grow a forest without nurturing individual trees along with the supporting ecosystem. The trees make the forest.
It's easiest to start on fertile soil with all the necessary resources, but it's not impossible to start with very little.
Pruning helps a little, and you have to be extremely decisive early on with aggressive invasive species.
This post is about people and communities.

IDK why, but it boggles my mind that some people live in places where tropical fruits grow in their yard. You mean, you just go outside and pick your oranges?!
