I will never hit the club unless I happen to win a big lottery and I will go past to the 9 digit club...
I think the odds are I will be hit by lightning while I hit a hole in one.... and since I have not golfed in years that is going to be hard.... OH, and only 1 (yes ONE) birdie in my life...
But congrats to the people that have achieved it...

Good job!
Congratulations on your milestone, and props for maintaining the LBYM attitude which will allow you to stay in that lofty neighborhood. Learn from the bad examples of celebrities and lottery winners who burn through similar fortunes.
I hope I never get there, because it would mean I w*rked way too long!

Yeah, if I was at the 3 % rule, It would have been a bottle of XO or VSOP. And I would sip it slowly , lol.

If it looked like I was was headed to eight figures, I'd ramp up the spending way before I got there. No need to pass on that kind of money to my kiddos.

If I put everything into Amazon just a few years ago, I would be there today.
But the sad fact is that I have never owned any share of AMZN. Same with AAPL, or FB, or NFLX.

Well that is an accomplishment. You don't get where you are at by accident it takes a lot of hard work and being disciplined.

You know, there's no rule that says you can put only two zeroes after the decimal point. Use as many as you like.
