Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

    I’d take a billion dollars though. Live out my life without ever needing to worry much about anything.

    It’s that egotistical need to use that money to exert power to control people that I’m not interested in.

      A billion is way too much. 5 to 10 million is all anyone needs to retire. I can see maybe “needing” 25 million if your hobby is racing cars. More than that is just needless hoarding.

        Yeah, but in real life I’m Nicholas Cage and I gotta buy a bunch of crazy shit. Couldn’t possibly retire on anything less than $800 million!

      Agreed. Take the money and do your own thing. Or better yet, help people that want to be helped.
