Why would it be unreasonable? I am a woman who lives in a mobile home (in a trailer park) and I much prefer it to living in a rented apartment or house. Yes, I have to rent the land but it is much less than renting a house or an apartment. I have at least a small area to garden where I have planted fruit trees, and have garden. If I go to sell, I will have something after years of living here which wouldn't be the case with just renting. The neighbours can be annoying at times, but I have lived in other areas that are a mix of renters and homeowners and had issues there as well, and they were what I'd call decent neighbourhoods (there always seems to be at least one annoying/crazy neighbour wherever I live). If you do end up in a mobile park (which maybe you weren't thinking of but just in case), I have seen YouTube videos about large rental corporations buying up trailer parks from mom and pop owners and increasing rent massively so there is always a risk of that happening. I'm glad I bought it when I did though, because even trailers in trailer parks are getting crazy pricey.

Indeed! If you bought an average $190,000 house 10 or 20 years ago, it could be worth close to a million today, depending on your location. There must be countless paper millionaires, especially in real estate.

Being a millionaire just became 1/2 as impressive, around 2020-2021. You know, when literally EVERYTHING doubled in price. No, what truly happened was the dollar lost over 1/2 of its value in just a year or two. It was the craziest thing I've lived through, and I'm close to half a century.

Something tells me I have yet more "interesting" times to live through in the future...
Correct…real estate value is only on paper…until you use it….or die and the gains are acquired by those who take possession of your property.  Use the equity in your property now to purchase other properties and have renters pay the bills (mortgage, utilities etc)…use equity from those properties to purchase realtime businesses for real cash flow. Use the cash flow for the greater honor and glory of God.  Is it work?  Heck ya…but if you don’t work hard to build your dreams than someone will hire you to work hard to build theirs!  Work hard and earn your salvation!

So what?  There has been an almost incomprehensibly massive increase in the money supply, concurrent with a staggering, steep decrease in morality (which was already in a bad state).  Most of these modern millionaires are unscrupulous fraudsters and their money purchases far, far less than it used to.

I am in no way arguing against your encouragement to take positive action, etc., but appealing to the increase in the number of millionaires is meaningless for multiple reasons.
Excuses…it’s not about them.  It’s about you taking advantage of the opportunities that are available to you.  Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
