Yes, I read recently that if you counted to a billion it would take like 38.5 years. 1 trillion is 1000 billion so 38500 years

Thats is how many reds were trapped in the marsh.

1 Billion is the amount of trout kept at the 15 limit

1 Trillion is the amount of trout kept at the 25 limit

Thank you government for protecting the trout.

here's a nice little sketch to show you.

If you count backward, then:

1 million seconds = 12 days ago
1 billion seconds = 31 years ago
1 trillion seconds = 30,000 B.C.


If you stack a trillion-worth of $1000 bills together, then:

1 million dollars = 4 inches high
1 billion dollars = 364 feet high
1 trillion dollars = 63 miles high


If you made $40,000 per year, it would take:

25 years to earn $1 Million
25 Thousand years to earn $1 Billion,
25 Million years to earn $1 Trillion

If you lived to be 80 years of age, to have:

$1 Million you would have to save $34 each day of your life,
$1 Billion you would have to save $34,000 each day of your life,
$1 Trillion you would have to save $34 Million each day of your life

Now multiply by 17.........ugh

I bet he is the only guy in the history of the world to spend 10 trillion dollars.

Understatement, the rush has already begun. I have been finding fish away from all those highly educated boaters. They are impressive with their tactics.

1 trillion is the number of times I almost messed my pants when we had to sleep on that supply boat offshore of g.i. During that storm this summer.
