You can wrap your brain around that.
It will only be worth the dollar in a few years at the rate they're printing it.
You can look on the bright side, we'll all be millionaires soon.
I'll load up the truck and move to Beverly... Hills that is.

There is no bright side. We will not be millionaires.
If you have $500,000 (a half million) and inflation makes it worth 1/2 as much.
You now have $500,000 (a half million) with the buying power of $250,000 (a quarter million).
Translation - You lose half you life savings.

Money CAN buy love AND friendship...just go to the animal shelter and see how much you can buy.

Which brings me to some advice...if the dog is barking at you at the back door and the wife is screaming at you at the front door who do you let in first? The dog...at least he'll shut up when you let him in.

Definitely let the dog in first. You can always give the dog a snack or treat to shut them up. Sometimes it takes more than chocolates to shut the wife up.
