    "Go out with millionaires".....as a normie from rural nowhere USA I have somehow met and spent some time with 3 millionaires in my 45 years on Earth. Of this sample size of n=3, two were normal people who worked their way up and attributed a lot of it to luck with intelligence and hard work, but they were really just normal people who got lucky and were not significantly different than any person I've met...and the third dude was a controlling asshole who just yearned for more money and more attention at all times and it was never enough and you knew it never would be enough no matter what. No thank you on that front. It was like being around someone with a specific and harmful mental illness. I feel like the third dude could easily be what this LinkedIn Lunatic is after.

    While true, it is an oversimplification. Millionaires are not accessible to regular folk (generally speaking). If you are hanging out with millionaires, you likely are already a millionaire or are on track to be one.

    Not really. So this person made good points with the first two. If you hang out with smokers or alcoholics, it is likely you will become one too.

    However, those are two groups that are pretty accessible to most people. Rich or poor, you can likely cross paths with a smoker or alcoholic.

    The third one isn't going to happen. A millionaire isn't goin to just hang out with a guy making 60k/yr (generally speaking).

    The OP was trying to make a dumb argument that you should only hang around millionaires and that will make you a millionaire in the same way that hanging out with a smoker will make you a smoker.

    The argument is flawed because you can't just "hang out" with millionaires

    I used to live with my best friend who like to drink a bit too much. I have barely touched alcohol since.

    The saddest thing with these posts is people believe they will magically become rich from hanging out with millionaires. Probably similar to people who get scammed by crypto rug pulls because investment guru told them it was a good idea honestly.

    Also I like the guy smoking with another one in his hand. That guy is committed to smoking!

    Had a college buddy that was a millionaire and had a black Amex card by the time he was maybe 22? He was a fun guy to party with, watched him spend $10k in a bar once just by buying multiple rounds for everyone in the bar.

    His parents gifted him a BMW and a luxury apartment for graduation even though he dropped out senior year, and he had a six figure job waiting on him. He got bored of that, went to the beach for a few months and just blocked his boss’s number. When he came back he asked his dad for another job and was given an even better job at a different company. What I learned from hanging out with him was that if your parents are both extremely wealthy and successful, you can act like that. Still, fun guy.
