      Do you know what the difference is between a thousand and a million? About a million.

      It’s almost as if there’s a pattern in how we name large numbers 🤔🤔🤔

        The point is that 1 million is a big number (or a lot of money), as is 1 billion. But 1 billion is so big, it makes 1 million seem small by comparison. 1 thousand is not a big number.
