Live'n the dream | Someone told me once If you think of money as time and a million dollars as 32 seconds then a billion dollars would be 32 years... is the maths of that for real?... I've never bothered..

When I was a kid I went on a school excursion to the town bank.. we were in the safe which was a medium sized room where there was a table with a small, neatly stacked pile of Twenty Pound notes, "That's a million pounds" the banker nonchalantly told us, "... a billion pounds would not fit in this room.".. my teeney mind then as now boggles at the thought.
