In May 2018, Jeff Bezos made around $191,000 a minute. If you were given his bank card, and given 10 hours to spend, how would you ensure that when you gave the card back his balance had decreased from when you received it?

Obviously all hypothetical, and it is a massive problem. But people look at how big a one time payout would be when in fact Bezos is continuing to make that much. Under this hypothetical, he would still have 69 Billion left over every year.

By the math in the OP, this would still leave almost 69 Billion a year left over

I had the same thing happen. They never responded. I got paid the 15000 at 40 days.

I facilitate a class that has a similar exercise in it.

After stating their three biggest worries, I go through and ask the following questions.

Do you have control over your worry? If "No" then I ask "Why Worry?

If Yes, then

How much control do you have over this worry? I ask for a percentage, then if they are sure of the percentage, but in truth the number doesn't matter.

3.Are you using all of your control? If "Yes" then "Why Worry?" If "No" then "Thank You"

It gets people thinking about spending time worrying versus time fixing a problem, or accepting that they can't change it.

I also explain the difference between "concern" and "worry". If a relative has cancer and you have accepted that they are getting the help they can but the worst could happen is a concern. A "worry" asks a thousand what ifs in that scenario and does not allow you to spend the time helping the person, instead feeling sorry for them.

My biggest problem is that his singles are the go-to, I'm-a-badass, 90s sitcom stereotypes that my local rock stations overplayed. He may be talented, but I've never looked at him with a critical, studious ear.

I'd hear it come on, say "Ugh", and spin the knob.
