Mind you, my population number is old, so my math will be give each person more money then using present numbers. Divide 85,000,000,000 by 217,800,000 and you get<BR/><BR/>$390.27 per adult. The number your husband heard, someone misplaced a decimal place.<BR/><BR/>As to what I would do with that much money in your origional example, I would:<BR/><BR/>1) Buy the new house we have wanted with cash.<BR/>2) Buy a new tv because the new house would demand a new big screen high def.<BR/>3) Food Storage<BR/>4) Buy a Wii<BR/>5) Buy a second computer<BR/>6) Bank the rest.<BR/><BR/>We blew a big chunk of it on the new house. When the current house sold, we would have a nice infusion of cash, but I would bank that too. When you buy a nice house with cash, $600,000 doens't go that far! ;)Aaron Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356942729722642571noreply@blogger.com
