quick and dirty calculations and musings... (someone double check the math lol)

Every day $50 Billion dollars exchanges hands as a result of Goods and Services provided, in the US.

Every day $300 Billion dollars is transacted on the stock exchange, in the US.

GWP (Gross World Product) is nearly $80T yearly. $200B/day

80T divided up to 7 billion people is $11,500

(Your chance of being one of the 7 billion (aka being born), is 1 in 400,000,000,000,000 (Trillion))

The total wealth of the world is $280T

280T divided up to 7 billion people is $40,000

To be in the top 1% of the world, your income is $32,000/year

To be 1% in the US, you need $400,000/year, which 18 million Americans fall into

There are 36 million, millionaires in the world

15.5 million of those can go to their bank, and withdraw at least $1M

Out of 233 countries in the world, 195, have a population less than 36M

This is what 1 million people looks like (supposedly)

The real currency is your time

Money is a commodity

And you can create it out of thin air

You can create wealth out of thin air

People give other people money just to speak

People give other people money just to stand

People give other people money for rocks

You can use money to make money

How to make $1,000,000:

5,000 people buy a $200 product
2,000 people buy a $500 product
1,000 people buy a $1,000 product
500 people buy a $2,000 product
300 people buy a $3,333 product
200 people buy a $5,000 product
100 people buy a $10,000 product
50 people buy a $20,000 product
25 people buy a $40,000 product
5 people buy a $200,000 product
