[QUOTE="Suigin Trismegistus, post: 84680, member: 487"] I sense some resentment. It's not hard to accumulate wealth in America. If you have a credit score over 780, you can create an LLC and then get access to around 250k or more of business credit cards from a handful of banks that are zero interest for the first 12-18 months. You can then use that as seed capital to open a margin account and using specific low-risk trading strategies roll that up into 500k or more in the first year. Pay off the loans and repeat. Requires a bit of risk, initiative and self-control (otherwise you'll just gamble it all away and end up broke and in debt). But totally doable. I never went this route, but had I known about it in my youth I might have. Many of the wealthy people I have crossed paths with had humble beginnings and are self made, without gem mines or family trusts to get them going. It is not hard to get a few million net worth if you have sufficient intellect and aptitude here. Can't say the same for the rest of the West though, seems like there's a lot more bureaucracy, taxation and less access to credit in most of Europe for example. Those born into wealth really like to make things more difficult for the peasants, and so they end up in politics or NGOs where they can pull up the ladders. [/QUOTE]
