You can have 5000 of anything that starts with Y. What do you choose?

Never felt so rich with $8.37 in my savings account. Can’t even fathom what that to the 84th power would be.

[u/IRealApex → u/ttircdj]

8.37E84 = 83,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00

8.37⁸⁴ = ~3.22803675798E77 or 3,228,036,757,980,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00

So, what you’re saying is I could afford to eat at Waffle House?

[u/UniqueName2 → u/ttircdj]

You could afford to buy and eat every single Waffle House.

[u/ttircdj → u/UniqueName2]

That’s one way to take over the South

[u/lookalive07 → u/UniqueName2]

I'm not sure eating the building is advisable.

[u/CodingFatman → u/UniqueName2]

You could buy and eat every single Waffle.

[u/ruat_caelum → u/UniqueName2]

or every planet that hosts a waffle house.

[u/kqi_walliams → u/UniqueName2]

I find your lack of faith disturbing

[u/Consequence6 → u/UniqueName2]

At the same time because you invested in cloning technology.

[u/AvatarAda → u/Consequence6]

You named a Gola, Ebola.

[u/Pretzel911 → u/UniqueName2]

You shouldn't eat buildings.

[u/BadWolf_Corporation → u/UniqueName2]

"Wait. I'm worried what you just heard was bring me a lot of Waffle Houses. What I said was give me all the Waffle Houses you have."

[u/xPofsx → u/ttircdj]

You could at least afford a McDouble or something

[u/ttircdj → u/xPofsx]

Yeah, but McDonald’s doesn’t have as much entertainment as Waffle House 3rd shift

[u/xPofsx → u/ttircdj]

It's often safer, but with slightly less, but still interesting, characters

[u/ttircdj → u/xPofsx]

I’m allergic to safety.

[u/xPofsx → u/ttircdj]

There is no guarantee at either location to be fair

[u/SHWAPAH → u/ttircdj]

At least twice yeah

[u/ttircdj → u/SHWAPAH]

Well, I don’t usually eat breakfast anyways, so lunch and dinner it is!

[u/DengarLives66 → u/ttircdj]

Now look who’s a fancy lad!

[u/orthros → u/ttircdj]

You can afford to go to Five Guys. Twice.

[u/ttircdj → u/orthros]

Billionaire shit there

[u/Qweesdy → u/ttircdj]

So, what you’re saying is I could afford to eat at Waffle House?

What they're saying is that you could afford to eat a house made out of waffles.

[u/Behrooz0 → u/ttircdj]

Bruh. Are you kidding? You could even afford Sky TV.

[u/ttircdj → u/Behrooz0]

Netflix?

[u/Behrooz0 → u/ttircdj]

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2qql1wk794o

[u/ttircdj → u/Behrooz0]

Sorry, I’m from Alabama. They never taught me how to read.

[u/TheHarbarmy → u/ttircdj]

Can maybe even get Five Guys. Still gotta go with the little fries though.

[u/ballisticbuddha → u/ttircdj]

You should keep in mind that you'll have that much after 5,000 years. What is it going to be actually worth after that long? How much of the actual value will be eaten up by inflation.

[u/ttircdj → u/ballisticbuddha]

In 5,000 years, it might buy me a cup of sugar.

[u/ObamasBoss → u/ttircdj]

No. Inflation has been more than 4%. This person's bank account was $0 LONG ago and owes maintenance fees. This assumed we are just jumping forward 5000 years and letting whatever happen.

[u/ValuableMiddle378 → u/ttircdj]

Idk with inflation you might only get some grits

[u/ValuableMiddle378 → u/ttircdj]

Idk with inflation you might only get some grits.

[u/MlKlBURGOS → u/IRealApex]

That's not how it works.

T = C * (1 + i/k) ^ nk

(Total, (initial) Capital, interest, k=periods in a year, n=number of years)

Assuming a monthly interest payment:

T = 8.37 * (1 + (0.04/12)) ^ (5000*12) = 4e87€

Assuming a yearly interest payment:

T = 8.37 * (1 + 0.04) ^ 5000 = 1e86€

[u/Schonke → u/MlKlBURGOS]

Assuming a yearly interest payment:

T = 8.37 * (1 + 0.04) ^ 5000 = 1e86€

Ahem, 1.27e86! Don't skim 2.7e85 euros from the poor bastard!

[u/MWD_Dave → u/IRealApex]

You could buy the last can of anchovies with that!

[u/Consequence6 → u/IRealApex]

[u/JstVisitingThsPlanet → u/ttircdj]

Only 5000 more years to go. Hang in there.

[u/jaggedcanyon69 → u/ttircdj]

There is no way to comprehend it. No thought device or analogy could ever make that number even vaguely accessible.

[u/ghjm → u/ttircdj]

$8.37 * 1.04⁵⁰⁰⁰ = $123,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

All the money there ever was, is, or ever will be is an invisibly tiny drop in the bucket of this much money.

[u/Winjin → u/ghjm]

Most of the modern billionaires would go green with envy over that much money

[u/IamImposter → u/ttircdj]

Bro. Come to india and you already got some 650 INR. You can buy a medium pizza with good toppings. No beef

[u/lesbianmathgirl → u/ttircdj]

Even larger than that. You double 277 times, so that's ~8 * 2²⁷⁷ = 2³ * 2²⁷⁷ = 2 ^ 280 > (2³)⁹³ = 8^93.

[u/mordecai14 → u/ttircdj]

You don't increase that to the power, you'd increase that amount by the yearly interest to the power of the number of years. So in this case, an interest rate of 4% would give you:

8.37*(1.04⁵⁰⁰⁰⁾ = 1.228 * 10^86.

Which is vastly more than the number of atoms in the observable universe.

[u/Liberatedhusky → u/ttircdj]

I did it with a calculator and at 4% over 5000 years compounding you would have:

1.2286323662620432644746711842454e+86‬

[u/TheOriginalJape → u/ttircdj]

Then you buy Amazon and Disney
