    One billion dollars can buy a fuck ton of beanie babies, hold onto them for 30 years and they would be worth millions of dollars!

    Can we just discuss how the current billionaires are more interested in hurting people than enjoying life?

    I ain’t saying that having a billion dollars is a bad thing, but I will say you can have a billion dollars and still be missing a piece

    Or box of pieces

      Absolutely! I detest the majority of rich folks who are for some reason desperate for more profit no matter who they hurt or how badly. Like do they not have enough private jets? Is the global environment not degrading fast enough for their taste?🤦🏻‍♀️

      Personally though, 1 billion dollars is my only missing piece. Aside from that I’m perfect! (and super humble)

      Yep, if I was given a billion dollars, I’d immediately start my work on making 990+ millionaires (or 1M$ donations to community service/support organizations).

      True, sometimes we focus too much on the big things and forget to appreciate the small things in life. Thanks for reminding us to be humble

      That’s also my number. Anything over 1M$ should go out to supporting independent creators, mutual aid, or community-focused non-for-profit donations. Wish I had a job and was still making progress toward that number. :(

    I don’t think a trillion dollars would help me at all. I’d rather be poor in a world worth living in than rich in this miserable world.

    If I had 1 billion, I would set up a fund of 990 million to advance my agenda of free software, citizen rights and clean energy. With 10 million my entire family and next generation can freeload, lol.
