Fatgirlhedonist might not be a millionaire, because hardly anybody is - and anybody who promised her she would be was full of shit - but making her own coffee has certainly left her with money she didn't have before. I've always saved money the same way, by doing as many things as I can for myself. I really don't see how there's anything wrong with that.

Being a millionaire is easily doable now on a regular 9-5 job if you're paid fairly. In my city at least, I can tell you that a software dev can reach millionaire status within about 20 years of work. No fraud needed unless you count ETF investments or software dev as fraud.

It's not always the case.

Bill Gates I feel earned his money.

But, I agree, the others definitely exploited people

I recommend the Behind the Bastards episode on him. He had a ton of opportunities available to him normal people don't, including ones that aren't strictly financial. For instance, he was allowed to ignore most of his other subjects in high school to concentrate on computer stuff. As a person who had similar interests in computers and sometimes not an interest in some other classes, that's a huge advantage.

While I didn't have too hard a time in school (only needed 2 classes to pass my final year), being able to concentrate on just computers(which were my electives) would have been far less stressful and would have allowed more concentration. That's just one of many intangible benefits.

I also learned how to program at 13 in my free time

I didn't ignore any subjects in school. In fact, I actually did well in high school...

But I'm sure people will try to look at my life and try to make thousands of different excuses to explain that, especially if I founded Microsoft. But it was just because I enjoyed programming and worked hard too.(Like I spent days copying coffee from a basic book for a game)
