What is your definition of "a ton of money"?
- cbanek 8y agoWell, I suppose it depends on the denomination! "According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, all U.S. bills weigh the same: one gram. About 454 grams make a pound, which means that a ton of dollar bills would be worth $908,000. With coins, it is a different story. A quarter weighs 5.7 grams, according to the U.S. Mint; therefore, a ton of quarters would be worth $40,000. With pennies, it gets worse. You need 363,000 pennies (at 2.5 grams each) to make a ton, and the value of the pennies is a paltry $3,632." https://www.michigan.gov/kids/0,4600,7-247-49025-34615--,00.html https://www.michigan.gov/kids/0,4600,7-247-49025-34615--,00....
- korisnicko_ime 8y agoEh, not sure - I just don't want to depend on a job/salary for the rest of my life.
- themoat 8y agoI'd say that the majority of these comments are fantastic advice for that path, then. The hardest part is actually going to be curbing your expenses, living well below your means, and investing soundly.
