Imagine I give you $100,000 today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. How long until you get tired of getting $100,000 each day?
After only a few days, most people's financial problems would be solved. After ten days, you will have received 1 million dollars. After a few months, you will have been able to purchase anything you've ever dreamed of.
How long, then, until money is meaningless to you?
Do you know how long it takes to have received 1 billion dollars?
27.4 years.
27.4 years of receiving $100,000 every day. A billion dollars is 10,000 $100,000s.
Some people have hundreds of billions of dollars. It is an astronomical number.
You can't imagine how much that amount of money changes a person. You will absolutely lose your mind and yourself.
No one should ever possess anywhere near that level of money. It's way too much power.
People conflate rich people with millionaires and casually lump billionaires in with that group.
They are not the same. Billionaires are shells of humans, filled with the putrid sludge of a soul completely consumed by greed.
Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
