21yo and $2k

Commented so you don’t feel bad about being the only non-millionaire on this site.

I feel like most people under 30 on this site and not in SV are not a millionaires.

Although it does seem there are tons of very wealthy people on here. I mean, I see one comment with 20ish million and another with 100 million. I'll never see that in my life.

It is HN, part of YC after all, so you'd expect to see a higher percentage than most who have large amounts of wealth through startup related exits, like me. On other fora, probably not.
I know that makes sense. I guess I just never realized how many people exist who have that sort of wealth. I know income and wealth are separate things, but making over $75k puts one in the top 25% of US earners.
22 and probably a negative net worth so there's that. And I've been working for 4-5 years :shrug:.
About the same, just a couple of years older.
