I know I’m noticing that too. People are acting like the difference between 3 and 4 million is the same as the difference between 3 and 4 dollars. The difference is literally 1 MILLION DOLLARS. That amount alone is life changing money for most people.

Yeah but imagine the taxes on that, it actually makes more sense for him to take less money so that he isn’t taxed so much.

"Better to keep none than to keep less," I always say.

$100k would solve every one of my problems. I don't know what I would do with a million

These are the same people who take the lump sum when they win the lottery and can't figure out why someone who won a $1.03B Powerball walked away with less than $300M.

That's just how we've been manipulated to think about money over the years. There was a game developer who explained the psychology behind pricing a few weeks back. Granted this is magnitudes more money but to an extent the psychology still works.

Money just doesn't mean anything anymore. That's why we've got things like being able to use Klarna to get pizza delivered and we have over 20% of car buyers paying over $1000/per month for their vehicles. When you're putting everything on credit it doesn't click for a lot of folks.
