years of compound interest on my current savings, at a reasonable rate of 4%. that should keep me covered for an eternity or two.

EDIT: I guess when this reaches 5000 upvotes I can cash out?

Any online calculators I quickly searched do not allow anywhere near 5000 years and I’m on my phone, not my computer.

The notecard math though says at 4% interest you will double your money every 18 years leading to you doubling it a little over 277 times.

If you have $1.00 now you will end around 10⁸⁴ which puts you well above the 10⁸⁰ theorized atoms in the known universe. Not a bad amount of cash.

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

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?

You can afford to go to Five Guys. Twice.
