Not true.

in 1942 $10,000 was worth ~$154k today.

Unless he meant EQUIVALENT to $10,000 today in 1942, which would have been $642.

But I get where you're coming from, and agree with you. Thought I'd provide better proof for the masses.

2nd, old bastard doesn't understand the state of the economy and opportunities available when he started, vs the modern boomer, doomer, and zoomers today-- where majority of them can't even save $10,000 due to high debt and cost of living.

3rdly, even if I were 18 in 1942, I would've been shipped off to war and be dead today, or, if I lived, I'd be 95 today. In which case, that $51 million would be utterly worthless.

Fuck this guy. Why doesn't anyone understand that a shit load of money at 70+ is basically worthless. You're just living to live. You can't climb mountains, you can't travel, you're certainly not fucking young thots without risk of heart attack and the assistance of boner drugs.
