all of that cost money to maintain and will eventually have to be replaced too, you are going to run out of money no matter what you do if you don't have an income whatsoever. Also I don't see how that life is better than living in an apartment with a nice computer setup or spending most of your time in virtual worlds with AI...

Being a millionaire (<10 mil) won't make you part of the elite, that barrier is far higher, it's probably in the hundreds of millions so if you won't make it there then you are just as poor as the rest of us. Also all of your property and so forth can be taken away from you, the only reliance you have there is the government protecting what's yours.

I guess it’s just personal preference. I’d prefer to actually try and accumulate wealth, but I guess some people don’t care and are fine with being in a small apartment playing VR for hours.

Their experience is no less than yours, it's all sensory input to the brain just in different ways, one has limitless potential and the other is expensive and limited by the physical world.

I think you’re confusing the reality of the next 5-20 years with 20+ years. This whole conversation I’ve been talking about the next 5-20 years. I doubt we’ll have full dive VR in less than 20 years but I could be wrong
