If everyone has 1 million, then 1 million doesn’t mean anything. This is how inflation works
Ermm..that's not how common prosperity works..It's definitely possible for everyone to have 1 M in the bank provided wealth is redistributed more evenly, instead of being hoarded by a few hundred billionaires...

bro, u so nice. other fathers demand money from their kids

My kids still all living with me in same house. Hard for them to afford owning their own place. They all no partners yet so makes it very hard on just one income. I already have a car (older 2nd hand) for each of them.

I have to keep working hard and see if I can make money fast enough so I can help them more.

Really? After u get a million dollar in bank, what next? If you cannot manage your cash properly, giving you 1 million dollar is a waste. Frivolous spending is what makes many continue to be poor. I see many spend their CDC vouchers in a flash, and come edmw to bitch that it is not enough.

I think if everyone had a million (or maybe billions in today's standard) dollars in the bank account, everyone can afford for more vacations to relax and have fun rather than face the daily pressure of living, of upskilling, of keeping up with technology, of reporting to work daily and dealing with deadlines..

As of now, I don't have a million dollars in the bank. Living is stressful due to high competition, threat of layoffs, KPIs, deliverables, etc. Then dealing with unknown health conditions, random sickness, weird viruses, air pollution, micro-plastics in food, etc. Heck I don't even want my kid to be born on this Earth...spare them of the stress and madness.
To be fair if everyone have millions, we will still end up be peasants. Caz the system is designed in a way only top 20% can enjoy while 80% kena milk. If everyone have millions then the minimum rich standard probably be billions and super rich might be zillions LOL.

if everyone has a million $, the first thing that will happen is the prices of everything, including necessities, will skyrocket.

ppl that think that this million $ will last them a life time will stop working, causing a severe manpower shortage which will create supply shortage of all goods and services, making the price to skyrocket even more.

next thing that will happen is ur million $ will become worthless, and ppl need to find an alternative form of currency and start earning them. and obviously, some will be better at earning than others, so wealth disparity will come back again.

So in other words, ur million dollar will jus cause severe economic disruption and make everyone life miserable before things settle down to where it used to be.

Not really. Is just my excuse to still keep going.
Frankly I would prefer if I could die peacefully sooner than later. But have to wait till I get cancer or some illness.
Meanwhile make the best of what I have and have gratitude. But I am ready to go anytime.

Actually I already think the world is there where "everybody" (a very large majority of people) have a million.

$1m is almost worthless these days if you thinking of big items like property car retirement major health care expenditure etc.

We are in that era already. Those who don't have $1m are the poverty level people. Very sad for them. 🥲

By the time you have 1m in the bank it would already not mean very much to you

That's why poor ppl are very important, to keep things cheap for others. More poor ppl means cheaper goods.

So don't help or donate to the poor but help the rich.
