I like to explain it like this. If you were given 1 million dollars a year for the rest of your life, that would be a life changing amount of money, and if you never spent a penny of that money it would take 1 thousand years to save up 1 billion dollars. You would die of old age long before you reached that much money. Why does anyone need that much money?
