I wrote about billionaires. I didn’t mention how there are no ethical billionaires and I neglected to include a recipe for preparing them with carrots and onions and a nice gravy.
But I did cover just how wildly wealthy a very small number of Americans are, how raising their income tax would barely affect them, and why we should do it immediately.

Is it bad that my takeaway from this was "$100 million seems like a good goal"

@aaronpk I was just repeating something I've heard in lots of tech circles, people really love the 100M line because it means you no longer have to care or even be that careful with your money. I know people with 20M that live like retirees and shop at goodwill, afraid they'd ever touch their principal

when I was 10, my goal was $1 million because interest rates were like 6-8% then, and I was like hey I can live on $5000/month from interest alone!
