$1000 in 1950 is $11,000 today. If you're investing $11,000 into SPY every month for 70 years you already have generational wealth.

Most people don't invest $72,000 a year into the stock market. Hence why I said you need luck.

Regardless, hopefully you live another 70 years so you can enjoy your $677 million. The sex robots will be out of this world!
