The question is who wants to be a millionaire?

Just imagine, those stacks of Cash 🙆🏼

The Million Dollar dream is simple irresistible. I still remember the younger me, I dreamed of driving a very expensive car. I dream of driving a car that was worth hundreds of thousands. Well, it never happened. I am driving a decent car but not one that cost hundreds of thousands. I used to think that wealth was the ability to buy a big house, an expensive car and have the latest gadgets. My view has changed. I am not sure if I might be a millionaire some day. If by the time, I reach 60, my bank account would have a surplus of 500 K and I won't have any debt, that would be something I'd be joyful of.

I was watching Triple Frontier.

I do not want to post a lot of Spoilers here in case you have not watched it. Why does this movie relate to the millionaire dream? This movie is kind of sad in a way.

Synopsis
An informant by the name of Yovanna made a deal with Santiago "Pope" Garcia, a Private Military contractor to smuggle her and her brother out of the Columbia. In exchange for this, she would give him information on the whereabouts of this drug lord who hid cash in his house. The safe house had more than 250 million USD worth of cash hidden. Pope flies back to the states and meet up with his old ex special forces friends. Their job was to assist him in looting this safe house. If it was successful, all of them would retire with millions.

This all goes to plan. They loot the safehouse. (Details won't be disclosed for not spoiling this movie) The load up all those cash into their truck. On their flight out, the helicopter crashes due to overloading of cash. They had to survive through the jungle and finally through the bitter mountain ridges losing some of the cash on their way. In the end, all of them had lost a huge portion of their spoils. In the end, they ended up with nothing.

It's worth a watch.

My own opinion

Sometimes in life, we encounter something like this. It seems all too good to be true. We work hard at it and never take a moment to think if whether it's worth our input and end up with something less.

One thing I am sure is that, the world total GDP has overall increased. There are more millionaires than ever. The number of hours that we would need to work in order to sustain our monthly expenses would gradually decrease as the technology advances around us.

You need to save around 10 K a year for the next 35 years to have a million bucks at the end of it. That 10 K has to be worth the same 10 K today as inflation eats up our contributions per year. Are you willing to sacrifices instance gratification for the million at the other end of the tunnel?

This is just an abstract of what I have in mind. Maybe there would be many Steemians who would be millionaires in the future. One of the theory that I can hypothesize is that, If a user has been working hard in the Steemverse and if Steemit grows and sustains well into the next decade, our hard work from the future past, is going to contribute to our total Net Worth and the best thing is that no one who knows us would really know.
