LOL, just counting it would take more then a lifetime

lol...I'd like some of that

1 Trillion seconds = 31688 years 269 days 17 hours 34 minutes

just give me one percent of that i will be happy lol

If the average life expectancy is 66 years (according to wikipedia)...

66 years - 16 leap years = 44 years * 365 = 240,900 days
16 leap years * 366 days = 5,856 days
240,900 + 5,856 = 246,756 days

$1,000,000,000,000 / 246,756 days = $4,052,586.36

It would take $4,052,586.36 spent daily, to spend $1trillion in a lifetime.

I could buy some hot bitches with that money...

Here's a thought.

If you SPEND $1,000,000 every single DAY since the year 0... that's right, 2009 YEARS of spending $1,000,000 every single DAY... you still would not have spent 1 trillion dollars.

You have some funky math skills.

66 * 365 = 24,090.

Lucky I dont have such storage problems ;)

fucking amazing aint it.

id love to stand by that wall

Wow. That is pretty impressive. When you see all this talk about stimulus and bailouts and a billion here and a billion there you forget just how much money it really is.

It kind of reminds me of that movie Blow where they have the room full of cash.

What the fuck? Its mean they have spend 3 times of that huge pile of cash on Iraq war?

Now I know why US economy is downhill.

that is pretty crazy. id settle for a few of those small $1mm stacks right about now :winkwink:

:error:error:error

I think you forgot that every 4 years in that 66 years, is an extra day.

i had to sell cars from my three garages to get free place for my trillion

I wish I did not read that. That's a bit disturbing and mind blowing if you think about it.
365 daily millionaires x 2009 years can't fix a problem with money (pallets full of 100 dollar bills as far as the eye can see...)

Maybe the source of the problem isn't money then. It's the leakage of it to the wrong people who are dishonest and disrupt the entire global system we set up as a planet that should have been checked up by governments, people we voted to be in that position, but who didn't do their jobs right or looked the other way for several reason varying from simple lazyness to guilty all the way and everything possible in between.

On the other hand, the most successfull businesses we know today were started/owned by people that lived in poverty we could not even imagine today and from there came their creativity and will to survive.

I'm not going to argue with you. If you say the result is 10x higher than what my calculator says it is, then who am I to argue?

btw this is one trillion dollar

Wrong, $45,628,764.37 spent daily.

(44 * 365 = 16060 not 240900)

I tried that already, he won't believe you.

Fuck, my bad, sorry StuartD, I must have hit a wrong button on my calc.exe and never paid attention.

Yes I suck at math, you should see me when I gotta do math calculations in my scripts, wooo, haha.

If money is the root of all evil, what is the root of all money.

There is so much money out there, why don't I have any of it.

Trees . . .

Just give me the carrier bag

cool page and info :thumbsup

Well, that's the thing... there has never been that much money in a physical sense, only in a credit sense.

People borrowing $100,000, using $10,000 and insuring it for $1,000,000 using $100??? This is all well and good but where'd the money come from? Where did it go? Who has it now?

Once money became virtual, people started trading it and sharing it and using it and even insuring it with other virtual money.... and this big pile of nothing that was more valuable than a room full of pallets of $100's... eventually blew up due to the greed at the top, as they started to think they could just keep looping this virtual money in circles however many times they wanted.

The thing is, most of it never existed in the first place!! And now that the system has come crashing down, it all needs to be covered but... how do you cover it when there never was that much money to begin with?!?!

How do you pay off trillions in debt and insurance... with $100?!?!

At home I am reading a book now about some older business people who became market leaders the last 20 years in their fields of bizz. They all have a common background:

"most successfull businesses we know today were started/owned by people that lived in poverty we could not even imagine today and from it came their creativity and will to survive."

In the book I read there are 3 kinds of business owners/people.
1) the ones that build (1st generation). They put each dime back in the bizz to make it grow and they care only for the growth and it's succes and the people working there and their clients, never for personal arrogance or financial gain.
2) the ones that inherit and expand (2nd generation). They are carefull but spend too much, are more lazy and less aware and get sloppy.
3) the ones that ruin the bizz (3rd generation or hired CEO's/managers). Scrapers that care only for money and personal gain and don't give a shit about the company or even tommorrow.

Not saying everybody is like that. <<read>> It's a book!

So money is as good as the intention of people using these paper printings.

I could shake a stick at that.

If the book was written by an American with extra white teeth, don't belive it Jacques. Nice new pic btw :winkwink:

The one that shocked me is the 1 million pic.

Damn,sure puts it in perspective

Then you get robbed.

daaaamn...

If you started a stop watch and ran it to 1 trillion it would take 32,000 years.

Are you saying trees are evil?? I KNEW IT!! THOSE MUTHER FUCKIN' TREES!!! :mad:
