The difference between a billion and a million:

This will give you a good sense of just how much a billion dollars is.  The difference is absolutely enormous.

Imagine you receive $1/second,( which works out an hourly rate of $3600/hour).  And imagine that you receive it every second of every day.  How long would it take you to become a millionaire?  
Roughly 12 days.

And how long would it take you to become a billionaire at that rate?  32 years!

That’s the difference between a million and a billion – 12 days vs 32 years.
