We decided to discuss a new thread by the (almost long-forgotten) crypto influencer 6529. He put together a fantastic dive into how wealthy people see money as a game. He also spoke about how inconceivable (though maybe true) it is that you should probably budget to retire on $20M in New York City (and other major metropolitan states)!
A Twitter influencer in the crypto industry, @punk6529’s thread on “Is Money Just A Game?” has gone viral – at least for the team here at Builders.Build. As he says, for most people, money is a huge struggle, but the people who make the most money tend to think of it as a game.
Could it be that they’re both right? Is money both a struggle and a game? And why on earth would you need to retire on $20M in a place like New York City?

The understanding of what life costs in a metropolitan state is just so astronomically different to other everyday states that you really have no choice but to start thinking of money as a game here.
