Now that the government is dealing in terms of trillions of dollars, I got to thinking about how much that actually is. There was also a quote on my daily Google home page that sparked the thought, too...
"If you can count your money, you're not a billionaire."
So how long would it take to count to one billion? Let's start with 1000. If you counted two numbers every second (which would get increasingly difficult as you hit the bigger numbers) and didn't stop until you reached your target number, here's how long it would take you:
One thousand - 8 hours
One million - 347 days
One billion - 951.3 years
One trillion - 951,293 years
So yeah, if you're a billionaire, it's really impossible to count your money. And one trillion is really freaking big.
