It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?

    A million bucks isn’t worth a million bucks anymore. $1,000,000 might net you $75,000 in yearly interest, before taxes. What kind of purchasing power is that going to be at retirement?

      A worker earning $36 an hour wouldn’t make $75,000 a year.

      The millionaires are fine.

        $33/hr. was an unimaginable amount of money to me in 1998. What’s that look like when I can’t work anymore, say in 2040? How about when a loaf of bread goes from $.50 to $5.50? That’s how I know you’re a child.

          Oh, did I say $33/hr? Oops, I meant $36/hr.

          $36 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $74,880

      It’s ok. I’ll take that pesky $1,000,000 and earn that paltry $75,000 in annual interest for doing nothing. It’s ok. I’ll allieviate you from the stress of thinking how worthless it is to you. Yes, I’ll allow that.

        People with your financial sophistication will be eating cat food out a can at 75. Good luck with those pesky numbers.
