What are you even going to do with a billion dollars? I can't even think of what I will do with a million dollars other than buying a comfy home for my family instead of living in a small congested apartment.
A million is easy to think about and honestly disappears pretty quickly compared to a billion. Between student debt, medical bills, private debt of various types, I'd eat up 100K in an afternoon alone. Then buying house somewhere else I'd like to live would take a huge chunk out of that. I'd have a much better setup than I do now but it'd be gone within a few years.
One million is more money than most people earn in a lifetime of work.
It demonstrably is not. The average over a lifetime was 1.7M in 2023.
Mean average maybe, what about median?
Where does your average come from?
