If $1 = 1 sec ...

If $1 were equal to 1 second, the median US household income per year of $50,000 would correspond to half a day.

This helps puts millions, billions, and trillions into perspective.

Roughly,

• $1 million = 2 weeks
• $1 billion = 32 years
• $1 trillion = 300 centuries (before recorded history)

A trillion is a really large number!
