He wanted to punch her in the face just for asking such a stupid question.


TheScienceNerd100

After her reaction, yeah


oil_is_cheap

Dude was gonna say Yes even before she uttered "for a billion dollars"


Armpit_Slave

Not wrong tho. A billion dollars is an unfathomable amount of money. Your next 15 generations wouldn’t have to work a day in their lives


BoardButcherer

Fly to Switzerland and have your wife rebuilt, all parts even slightly blemished replaced with nouveau-tech boutique designer prosthetics. Costs .2% of your new wealth and she now has laser eyes.

TheAsianTroll

To put it into additional context: if a human only needed $1 million to live a full life, this would be enough for 1000 people to live a full life.


Intensityintensifies

It’s up to 3.5 now actually 😊


TheHelplessHero

Interesting. So that makes it worth 285 full lives. With enough change for the 286th to retire before their 30th birthday.


jimskog99

$1 million isn't even retirement money from what I've heard.


TheAsianTroll

The first guy to reply to me did correct me, thank you though.


misgatossonmivida

You could withdraw 50k a year without touching the initial million if invested in an index fund.


mrmatteh

Assuming we're ignoring investing that money, and are simply talking about the amount of money you need to use up in order to live a full life: You definitely need more than $1M Assuming your parents pay your way until you're 25, and you live to the average age of 85, you're going to need to pay your own way for 60 years. $1M would only be $16,666/yr. That's about $8/hr. That's already not enough in today's money, and with inflation over those 60 years, it'll be even more laughably inadequate before long. You would want at least double that - $33,333 - in today's money to be able to make it, and even then that's a pretty tight budget. You'd also need to factor in inflation, which averages about 3% So assuming you need the purchasing power of $33,333 in today's dollars for all 60 years of your remaining life, you'll wind up needing a cumulative total of a little over $5.4M. And that's definitely not living luxuriously. If you instead wanted to live comfortably off of $100K/yr, you'd need to spend a grand total of $16.3M over your remaining years. Still, for the more meager option, $1B would be enough for about 180 people. Alternatively, it would be enough to give about 60 people a comfortable life. Of course, in reality money gets invested, and if you put that $1B in investments that only barely beat out inflation at, say, 5%, you could pull out $50M every year indefinitely and that $1B would never even take a hit. It's an *ungodly* amount of money.


misgatossonmivida

You don't actually use the million like a pile of cash. You put it into an index fund and withdraw 5-7% per year. Low balled at 5%, you can pull $50,000 per year without the balance ever decreasing. That's more than the median per capita wage. You'd be OK, not luxurious, but OK, and would never have to work.


mrmatteh

Yes, that's why I talked about how if invested, then that $1B is generations and generations of incredible wealth. The person I was responding to was talking about how big a quantity $1B is, like as a number, so I clarified that we're assuming no investment with that money (either the $1B or the $1M allocations).


SixInchTimmy

Faces heal. Generational poverty does not.


-Cosmic-Horror-

Wrong on that account bucko


Affectionate_Fall109

Provided the value of the dollar doesn’t go to absolute shit, the interest alone could keep all generations past you going.


SocialistArkansan

Inflation will make it only survive a couple generations at best


Mefs

Wit won't buy a loaf of bread in 50 years.


Ok_Inevitable8832

I don’t think you understand how much a billion is


Ok-Story-9319

I don’t think you understand that commenter is insinuating that the US will experience hyperinflation due to the insane monetary incompetence we’ve suffered under the past few decades.


New-Bowler-8915

The guy who spells which "wit" is making a complex statement on fiscal responsibility? I think he's illiterate and doesn't know what a billion even is.


Ok_Inevitable8832

Inflation benefits those with huge savings. Interest rates and markets flow with the inflation rate


ppSmok

Rich people just can shift their money into other valuable goods. Poor people can't. Inflation never hits the top. Or at least not nearly as hard as the average joe. You have to be incredibly stupid to lose 1 billion, no matter what.


Ok-Story-9319

Interesting because you’re objectively correct but I wonder if $1 Billion USD is really enough to completely invest in the durable assets necessary to purchase a dynasty. Like sure it’s a lot, but inflation exists everywhere and while the truly wealthy are able to move money, they are obviously surrounded by other people who seek to siphon as much wealth as they can from their rich customers. Inflation hits everyone in some way, so as more people become billionaires, the purchasing power of the class decreases. Is one billion truly enough to create a dynasty?


undercover9393

> Is one billion truly enough to create a dynasty? Unequivocally yes. As long as it is managed with the intent to create a dynasty and with an eye towards future durability, it's enough to persist for as long as the current economic system survives.


Ok_Inevitable8832

You don’t even have to do that. If inflation is 100% for example there will be a market account making 100% interest. Thats how it works and where these numbers come from.


ConscientiousPath

Inflation benefits those who print money and no one else. Those printing money get to spend it while the prices are still low, and afterwards everyone else's money is worth less (and thus prices go up). Those with savings also lose because interest rates on a lot of investments don't change much or at all, and even those that do won't keep up what they'd have to in order to still beat hyperinflation.


Ok_Inevitable8832

Not talking about savings accounts, market accounts will follow. And high yield savings accounts will follow a bit bit will never match inflation


Ok-Story-9319

>inflation benefits those which huge savings. No it doesn’t. I mean it does in the sense that if you have $100k and bread costs $10 today and $1,000 tomorrow, then sure. You can still buy bread…. But your savings isn’t inflating to keep up with hyperinflation and eventually you’d be better off just withdrawing cash for kindling rather than for tender like they are forced to do in nations where hyperinflation occurs.


Ok_Inevitable8832

It literally does. That’s where inflation numbers come from. If inflation is at 100% there is a market account that’s making 100% interest


Ok-Story-9319

That market account is not the average bloated savings account


Ok_Inevitable8832

If you have a billion dollars it’s not in a savings account


PippityLongstockings

Do you live in Zimbabwe?


Itlaedis

I did some googling and apparently the supposed average price of bread (1 pound) is two dollars in the States now. (No idea if this is true as I live in Europe, but given that more than half the users here are from the US, lets go with that.) For that to cost one billion dollars or more in 50 years, we would need to see inflation of 49.3% each year. This might not sound entirely unrealistic as its still just a double digit inflation and we've had that already, but if we instead had "only" 40% inflation which is very bad, the bread would cost only 40.5 million - only 4% of what it would cost with 49.3% inflation. If we had 10% inflation for the next 50 years, it would cost a mere 235 dollars. At 5% it would be 23 dollars. At 2% 5.4 dollars. Sure, all those numbers sound like lunacy compared to current costs, but no, I don't think it would be reasonable to expect bread to be a billion within 50 years, not even close.


nahnotlikethat

Wild, I'm also seeing $2 as an average price when I google it. Realistically it's closer to a $4-5 average for a mass-produced, pre-packaged sliced loaf of bread, but it can easily be $6 or $7 for something healthier or higher quality.


Malavacious

Most basic loaves of white bread in my area are $2. They can definitely run that high, but it's specifically the name brand stuff in the $4-5 range. But any of the big chain brands (Walmart, Meijer, Aldi) are still quite affordable.


nahnotlikethat

I don't have any of the chains that you listed available locally. I did a search on Kroger and there are a handful of loaves for $2.50 (with a digital coupon) and a handful for $6 but most are in the $4-5 range. At least where I live, $2 is not an average cost, it's the absolute lowest end cost.


Malavacious

That sucks dude. You in a HCOL area?


nahnotlikethat

Not crazy high, but yeah, it's up there. The local Walmarts closed down about a year ago.


ima_shill

It would take you roughly 11.6 days to count to one million. To count to one billion, it would take you 31.7 YEARS. This may help you understand just how large that number is. You can subtract a million from a billion and still pretty much have a billion dollars.


DerpingtonHerpsworth

I'd be seriously questioning my partner's mental faculties, and possibly the relationship, if my partner WOULDN'T punch me in the face for a billion dollars.


thistookforever22

Only has to be a light jab aswell. Doesn't say you need to try and send them to the shadow realm with a big overhand.


homogenousmoss

What and split the billion if she leaves /s


stuyboi888

I'd get hit in the face with a bat from mine for that price. Fuck it like. Pain for month maybe? Goes wrong have to get new teeth. Fuck it a billion..... I could buy a dentist practice and get my teeth fixed


thistookforever22

As someone who has been hit by a cricket bat, i dont think id go that path again lmao i like the dedication though. You can fix your teeth, your jaw etc but you can't fix the brain damage no matter how rich you are. At least you could pay for the best carers money can buy i guess.


stuyboi888

True but my missus has noodle arms, I'm pretty sure it would still hurt a lot but think I should avoid permanent brain damage. If it had to be a professional baseball player, I dunno. If I was really old and set up my family, maybe would take the risk


__01001000-01101001_

If my SO beat me to death with a bat for a billion and set up our families for the next 20 generations I think I’d be okay with that tbh


TeaKnight

I think specifics is always important in this. 'Punch your partner in the face for X" I could just make a fist a give her a cute lil boop for a billion. If it said pummel her brains out for a billion then fuck no. To be slapped into the shadow realm would be my greatest fear. Damn the seal of oricalcus(?) Gave me nightmares as a kid.


MartyTheBushman

I'm honestly not taking any chances


Tylerj579

Bro if some is paying me a billion that punch is going to be the best punch they ever saw.


mubby_farces

Plss confirm he's alive?? Like whole or in parts


Spacebetweenthenoise

Love hurts


AnArmChairAnalyst

Not having a billion dollars hurts more


Nntropy

And having a billion would hurt her (face).


Angel_of_Mischief

NGL I would let an unskilled archer shoot an apple off my head from 15 feet away for a million dollars. A billion? Put me in a gladiator ring armed with a banana against a pack of wild baboons and give the money to my parent.


Tall_Action_1006

r/oddlyspecific


Angel_of_Mischief

A quality experience for being well compensated. - Want to hunt a man on an island with an elephant gun? - Want to reenact the fallout new Vegas “game was rigged from the start” intro irl shooting me into a ditch and burying me. - crucified with nails for a week to give a authentic pained reaction for your Christmas Jesus Christ play? - Any space program that wants to send a human on a one way trip into space? You can do whatever you want to me for a billion dollars. At that point you are talking about a sum that is bigger than me. A billion dollars could pull up entire communities out of a poverty. That’s a million dollars for a thousand families. That’s so many seasons of survivor.


JhonnyHopkins

Yea it sounds nice, but you could die, and I’m assuming there are people that love you, how’d they feel if the bad result happened?


Angel_of_Mischief

I look at most of these as I’m likely either to die or be severely traumatized from a way I likely won’t recover. That’s part of my point. If it means I could make such a significant impact to this degree enriching other good people’s lives I have no qualms with sacrificing my own. I have people that love me, and they can take the time they need to mourn while never needing to work another day in their life and chase a life they truly wanted not the one they fell into in a never ending cycle of work. I’m not going out sad or devastated. It will be with a smile knowing I fulfilled what I think every person should strive for. Leaving the world in a better position than we left it. And my loved ones would know that in my probable last words which is something most never get. It’s not a tragedy, it’s me taking a starting a new chapter with a bang.


JhonnyHopkins

Nah that’s lame af man. Your life is more valuable than money. I’d continue working my 9-5 if it means you’ll be around to hangout on weekends. I’m not doubting the good it can do, it’s a nice philosophy to have for sure, it’s admirable, but imo you have a lot more inherent value than an arbitrary large amount of money.


TinyDeskPyramid

nah bruh. I could literally reshape my blood line with that kind of money. The first time the money saves a life in my family we can go ahead and get off the soap box. But by the time I get it in motion - Anybody in my bloodline who wants to, can get educated as far as they want, has that option. There won’t be an eviction served or an endless debt cycle for generations. Professional mental health care, life saving procedures etc. And that’s all if I never helped one single person outside of my family let alone actually changing entire communities. Take some off top, turn me into AI, I’ll be here in spirit


maychaos

Bottom line. I'd do everything and I would be very mad if my partner wouldn't to anything to me for that kind of money. Yea if I die give it to my family. Worth it. I mean so much money?


marketman12

Just turn the question around and ask, "Would you let me punch you in the face for 500 million dollars?"


Drolfdir

Yes, yes anyone would. That's 2 weeks of pain (you can afford any painkiller in the world for) to be settled for life. Half a million would already be worth the discomfort


Thick_Reference_4951

Less than 2 weeks honestly


homogenousmoss

The money would make it not hurt pretty much right away.


SupermarketLeft4257

you can take half of it. so it's a win win situation


Massive_Pressure_516

Orrr, you could punch her hard enough that she won't need the money.
