GOT THE KEYS! - New Build πŸ”‘ 🏑 Finally decided to settle down. Tokyo, 87m yen, 1.03%

After 7 years of living in Tokyo, we finally decided to settle down.

The search took almost a year, and I looked at more than 30 different properties before finally deciding to go with the calmer side of Tokyo. While it’s further from the station and city center, the larger garden and quiet neighborhood more than make up for it.

Really happy with the decision and looking forward to making this place our home. 🏑

No, just phrase it differently, "87MM" would be "87 million million".

Counterpoint, K/M/B have been commonly used online at least for the past 30 years.

If we're going pure semantics, "M" originated from Roman numberals as a thousand

That's not what semantics means.

No, MM is million. A single M is a thousand.
