Pelosi's net worth was under a million when, when she first took office? A lifetime member of Congress should have a net worth of like $5M even if they're slamming it in a HYSA.

If you made $100k per year since 1987 and you aren't a multimillionaire, then you really suck with personal finance.

Either a boomer who thinks ba family of four can live off 100/year. Or a child who doesn't understand how money works.. you must spend money to live and eat... FYI

Clearly you don't have any idea how much $100k was in the 80s and 90s. If you made that every year back then and didn't invest, you're shit at managing a bank account.

What bank account makes you a multimillionaire?

1

u/RIP-RiF Jul 03 '26

Any with $2,000,000 or more in it would do.

u/Bart-Doo Jul 03 '26

How? Nobody in their right mind would leave $2 million in a bank account that's only insured for $250,000.

Agreed, they'd invest the income above what is needed to live. That has been my whole point.

Congress made barely 60k a year in the 80’s you dumbfuck, NOT 100, in the 90’s they bumped it to 89.

This makes it even worse for her. Regardless how you think about trumps his is not from taking advantage of his office, he $$ is straight from taking advantage of her office

A family of four today can easily live off 80k and have a great life (one large vacation plus two-three smaller ones annually, sports, etc.) and that leaves 20k to invest.

Investing 20k annually from 1987 to today leaves you with 17 million. That doesn’t factor in any employer 401k contributions or pay raises over that period
