The R8 would be mine! ._.

But then i'd give the rest to charity.

After putting just a tad in the bank, of course. xD

That is an excellent example of orders of magnitude. I might just have to steal this idea. As I have found that most people don't under how significant an order of magnitude difference is.

starfish · 7th Apr 2009, 11:17 PM

Ok here is another way to put this into perspective. Kind of amazing how much your buying power increases.

Code:

Dollars	             Magnitude	Buying Power
                  One	0	Candy bar
                 Tens 	1	Many DVD movies
             Hundreds	2	A blue ray player
            Thousands	3	Big screen TV
    Tens of Thousands	4	A new car
Hundreds of Thousands	5	A new house
             Millions	6	An apartment building
     Tens of Millions	7	An office building
 Hundreds of Millions	8	a sky scraper
             Billions	9	A large company
     Tens of Billions	10	Every new car sold in the US last year
 Hundreds of Billions	11	Every car sold in the world last year
          Trillilions	12	Every house in the US
    Tens of Trillions	13	US Public Debt

Heck I don't even need that much. If I had just 2 million today I would never have to work another day in my life. Even then that 2 million would be untouched when I die and would have even grown. I would just live on some of the interest.

The correct scientific term for that is a metric crap load.

Lychee · 8th Apr 2009, 12:41 AM

I couldn't survive on 2 million. Heck, I couldn't even buy the house I want for 2 million.

I'd need at least 10 million before I stopped work entirely. Or 30 million to live in the life style I'd like to. But I'd get bored. So I think I'd probably become a student forever more. Take lots of uni courses

If I had a relatively indefinite supply of money, I'd not stop working, I'd just start working for charities. =P
