re: How do $40k a year millionaires pay for these swimming pools?

So your in tech? What experience do you have with salaries and so forth, haha

I'm about 90% sure it's HELOC. One day the wife asks "so we have a HELOC right?". I have a HELOC just in case shite goes totally sideways and the wife is always eyeing that thing for a pool or patio project in the $20-50k range. She got the idea from her $40k millionaire buddy who used one to get their pool. Those people got it from some other $40k millionaire.

Not this guy.

Breauxsif brags and probably also exaggerates or lies on here constantly, which is amusing to me because even the amounts he claims aren't very impressive for seattle. There's also no need to show up in random threads to drop how much he makes or brag about amazon stock in a Nintendo stock thread. Bigfella is annoying, but at least he's boasting about actual wealth rather than a salary which can barely afford a single family home in seattle

Of course I am in IT, been sold for 16 years. From development, engineering to senior management. I have hired plenty of engineers, developers, etc. Worked for large companies everyone has heard of to small ones that no one has. The salaries you speak of are exclusive to certain areas and not the norm across the nation. I saw it as you just wanting to state what you made while trying to make it sound like the norm, which is far from what is reality

It implies someone who makes 40k can't be a millionaire

If they finance $50k swimming pools while making $40k/yr, statistics say they will more than likely will not become millionaires.
