Fun with numbers

I've suggested using "median-income household" as a unit of measure to help put big $ numbers in perspective.

The median-household income is $50,000.
(... actually, just over $50,000 - but the $50K number is close enough!)

How long is 50,000 seconds? - just under 14 hrs (13.89 hrs)
How long is 1,000,000 seconds (that's a million seconds)? - about 11.6 days.
How 'bout 1 billion seconds? - 31.71 years.
... and 1 trillion seconds? - 31,709 years.
That's a long time.

The Great Pyramid at Giza was constructed about 144Bn seconds ago.
David was King of Israel about 95Bn seconds ago.
Jesus lived about 63Bn seconds ago.

If you spent $1/second, it would take you just shy of 26,000 years to spend the $819Bn stimulus.

If you were paid $1/second - every second of the day - your annual income would be $31,536,000.

Have fun with numbers!
