minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoThink about it. Even twenty years ago, $1 million meant you could buy a great place for yourself and a business that would let you live large. In 1960, $1 million meant a Beverly Hills mansion, a dozen cars, and a place by the beach. Kind of a giant leap from that to ‘living stingy.’
