Spending One Million Dollars
One of my kids said tonight that they want to have 84 children. Another one of the kids exclaimed, "It'll take, like, five million dollars to feed them." That got me wondering if my wife and I have spent one million dollars in our time together.
Our rough estimate using our general food budget, mortgage payment, and house expenses (electricity, gas, and taxes) would take us 40 years to spend one million dollars. We live modestly, but that number was higher than I expected, honestly.
It reminded me of the "one billion dollars" on MS notepad video (lots of NSFW language, so be careful). The fact that there are people with multiple hundreds of this kind of money is nauseating.
