That's pretty low. Why not 50 million, or 5 billion?

That's pretty low. Why not 50 million, or 5 billion?
- kite_and_code 5y agoMaybe in a similar direction: why would 5 million be already enough for you?
- yurishimo 5y agoI’m not the OP, but 5 million as an American wouldn’t fundamentally change your life. The interest from the money would be comparable to a decent salary as a tech worker, probably similar to OPs current salary. More money and you’re probably spending it on servants and lavish housing or entertainment. Those things might be cool, but it’s mental overhead that I imagine a lot of people just don’t want to deal with.
- kite_and_code 5y agoSo, what would fundamentally change your life? And which actions would you be able to perform in a desirable life (without the servants etc)?
- paulcole 5y agoJust in case the genie doesn’t grant wishes to anyone who’s too greedy. Realistically, I’d live the life I want with $5 million. I’m an asshole but I’m not the kind of asshole who wants to be a billionaire.
- kite_and_code 5y agoRest assured, the genie grants all wishes even if you choose to be greedy for a change. Sounds like a modest, reflected asshole to me ;)
