Remember last week’s blog when I said you shouldn’t buy your buddies beer unless you can afford it? Well, I feel really bad about that. I hate being the bringer of the bad news. This is why I’ve decided to show you an end game for filling that wage gap.
It has to do with making more money – WOW what a concept, I know. I’ve discovered that decisions in life are all about playing the odds. Ever heard of the saying, “ you make your own luck?” I hate that saying but you know it’s true!
1. You Could Be a Billionaire
(Be advised If this blog told you how I would be charging you. Sorry)
The odds of being a billionaire are about 1/1,000,000 in the United States. (I know that's a little extravagant just to drink beer, but we’re thirsty, read on)
I know that sounds like a complete pittance, but compared to some other things in life - the chances are lookin' pretty pretty good if you ask me. Work hard you just never know and you could be the next billionaire, right?
The libertarians in the crowd are going to like
this one...
2.3 times more likely to be a billionaire than get killed by lightning
3.7 times more likely to be a billionaire than be eaten by a shark
13.1 times more likely to be a billionaire than be an astronaut.
20 times more likely to be a billionaire than be sainted.
Well, how are you liking your odds now?
2. You Could Marry a Millionaire
Or you could just settle for dating a millionaire, gosh what a waste, but your chances are 1/215 or about 5000 times more likely.
I don't know about you but I'll be sweet-talking at the bar if you need me.
See you next week.
