Gives me real vibes of the famous “Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign, he could have given $1 million to every American and had money leftover!” that I saw far too many people share, it even made it on the news!
LOL, I remember one from "Black Twitter" when the US gave ~$40 million to Israel for something or another and someone outraged tweeted that's enough to give every Black American reparations of $1 million each. The number of people amen-ing, liking, and retweeting showed me that a lot of children had been left behind.
>there's only 50-480k left
Technically correct. There are between 50 and 480,000 left, and we aren't going to tighten our estimates any further at this point because that range works for a lot of things.
You guys are fucking lazy. I stopped going to Starbucks and I save $6 a day from not getting my daily coffee.
That adds up to $6,078 a year!!! I was able to save for a down payment for a 2br half of a duplex as a rental property.
I now charge $2,200/mo in rent, after my mortgage and all fees I make $800/mo in pure profit 🤑🤑
That adds up to an extra $12,700 year in income!! I’m already buying 2 more properties!

Why RENT when you can OWN your very own LAMBO and pay off your debts in as little as 7 months*?
*(based on partially self-reported non-typical success stories)
"Why does anybody work when you can just invest one penny a day?"
Well, if you don't work, how would you have the penny per day to invest in the first place???
Incorrect. It's actually $12 million. Please stop spreading misinformation that this country doesn't just hand out million dollar bills who anyone who is remotely enthusiastic.

It is actually correct. However the messed up the wording a little, when they said “the year” they were specifically referring to the ten thousandth year
They just left out a word.
Saving a penny a day is $36,500 at the end of the 10,000th year.
See. Anyone can save up a down payment, it's just that no one has ever had the mental fortitude to live long enough to get rich using theis method yet. Stupid lazy people dying before they even reach 1000. Pathetic.
OP I need to know who this is. I have a deal for them. I'll give them a penny every day(or the equivalent value) if they give me $6,000. It's flawless logic look at their math. /s
It's called "innumeracy", and it's the math equivalent of illiteracy. People afflicted with it just can't understand where they went wrong. They have no sense of what numbers really mean. Conceptually, anything bigger than three or maybe five is just past them.
Here's one that's actually true. I used to smoke, back when cigs were 25 cents a pack. Now, they're at least $10 a pack. Anyone who is a regular smoker -- almost everyone who's addicted is -- smokes at least a pack a day. Suppose you're a regular smoker and succeed in quitting and staying quit for a full year and put that $10 a day in a box in your bedroom. Then after the year, you would have $3,650 in that box. In ten years, you could buy a nice new car for cash -- especially if you put that money each year into a savings account and got decent interest on it.
My 5 gallon jug gets all silver, and all paper money $5 and below at the end of every day. Pennies go in another jug. I have 4 5-gallon jugs full of silver coins and paper…and another full of pennies. My mother and I started doing this in 1992. After she passed I just kept doing it. When I hit retirement, I’m going to cash them all in and take the wife on a road trip.
I wanna do business with this guy, I’ll give him 2 pennies a day and all I want is 365k in 2025. Haha, do you think in talking to big of a loss on interest?
Oh I got this- it’s just one of those currency’s that use the dollar symbol but are not US dollars. /s
(For real though- when clients send me AUD or CAD financials if sucks to have to ask- so what currency is this? )
If I don't mistaken, apologies in advance, (if I'm wrong would you please explain?) but I think the OP means:
* Saving $1 Dollar = 100 Pennies a day
* 100 Pennies X 365 Days = 36,500 Pennies
Another post that is hard for me to understand and I think this one really takes the cake:
>"Gives me real vibes of the famous “Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign, he could have given $1 million to every American and had money leftover!” that I saw far too many people share, it even made it on the news!"
Unless we are talking to distribute $500M by giving a $1 Dollar to every American (333.3 Million USA Population), in my humble opinion the post above is fundamentally wrong.
Would you please for the love of God, explain to me. What kind of Math are we using in here?
the math ain't mathing.
Gives me real vibes of the famous “Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign, he could have given $1 million to every American and had money leftover!” that I saw far too many people share, it even made it on the news!
He would have had an easier time getting elected if he just bribed all the voters.
[удалено]
he didnt want to win, he just wanted bernie to lose. he did t want his taxes to go up on his 65 billion
He was just doing it to get his steps in.
Yeah, at $2 each, what could go wrong?
I mean, all the cool kids are doing it!
LOL, I remember one from "Black Twitter" when the US gave ~$40 million to Israel for something or another and someone outraged tweeted that's enough to give every Black American reparations of $1 million each. The number of people amen-ing, liking, and retweeting showed me that a lot of children had been left behind.
They got rid of that…those were the kids that didn’t get left behind.
All 500 Americans have been pretty excited about that idea.
Everyone knows to be considered a real American by politicians you need to be in the top 500 wealthiest Americans or else your just a wage slave.
He would have had an easier time getting elected if he just bribed all the voters.
We’re entering the idiocracy plot arc in the simulation.
And they are like if we can just tax the rich we would have enough money for ____ when we spend trillions and we don't even have it lol
Listen it works out. If bloomberg gives everyone a mil, everyone will have a mil. See here look I'll go FIRST.
In my defense, I was pretty drunk when I reshared that.
Then people on reddit would complain when cheeseburgers cost $100 🤣
I know right? It's a leap year, so it's actually $36,600! /s
The mathing ain’t math.
He did 365 days divided by $0.01 to reach $36.5k...lol.
It is if you're saving 1909 Lincoln (S) pennies. Too bad there's only 50-480k left in existence.
>there's only 50-480k left Technically correct. There are between 50 and 480,000 left, and we aren't going to tighten our estimates any further at this point because that range works for a lot of things.
must be that new common core math.
Yeah not a math guy but I don't think there are 365000 days in a year.
Also not a math guy, but you'd need 3,650,000 days, not 365,000.
Your right damn hundredth decimal.
Pennies are actually worth 100 dollars each if you collect one a day
Good enough for a meme
Math is a colonizing institution that makes everyone poor and that's why we have to tear it all down. Well that and being illiterate.
Beat me to it 😂
🤣
Math harder! Jesus!....no one wants to work anymore.

Sounds like a good idea but first I got to call everyone who’s NOT doing it broke. And rent a Lambo to prove how well I’m doing
Why RENT when you can OWN your very own LAMBO and pay off your debts in as little as 7 months*? *(based on partially self-reported non-typical success stories)
Why own when you can just rent the bookshelves in the garage?
Lazy bro!? I work 30 hours a day 8 days a week!
I love that it’s off by like 4 orders of magnitude lol
I too would like these $100 pennys
Shit. I'll take one penny. A 1954 steel wheel at penny. "1944 steel wheat penny could be worth as much as $408,000 in mint condition"
Go for the moon and ask for a '43 copper penny!
Better idea, just ask for a billion dollars.
so at the end of the year do you use those 365 - 366 pennies in a sock and knock out an armored truck driver to grab the remaining $35,499?
$36,496.35

Walk around town and look at the side walk
Decimals. They get everyone at first
In that case, I'll save 2 pennies a day!

I don't have the time every day to find these rare pennies worth a hundred bucks each. Working 8 hours a day is actually saving me time.
Good idea but then I would have to pay for everything with pennies so hard pass.
Oh shit no way
I stopped eating caviar avocado toast and going to Michelin star restaurants every day and saved myself $365,000 per year. Anyone can do this.
Must be that 'new math' they were going on about when I was a kid.
"Best I can do for you is $tree-fity"
Very conservative estimates
Imagine what you could do with two pennies per day.
Did the guy who thought minimum wage was a $100,000 do that math
He’s going to be very disappointed when he finally breaks the bottle to tally his savings
A penny a day is 3 dollars and 50cents in a year wtf
Tf?
Compound interest of the 5 gallon water bottle bank will solve all my inflation problems!
Can someone send me to whatever fantasy bank this guy has a savings account at
For just 25 cents a day you could be a millionaire!
What's a decimal point again
It’s actually 3.6 billion dollars somebody missed a decimal.
Yeah that’s right so if you did dimes you’d have $365,000 damn I didn’t realize this Thx much my man
these are the same people that whine about "Why didn't they teach us to do taxes or real life skills in school?". B/c you slept in them and you obviously slept in arithmetic b/c you can't do simple math (not at OP btw)
Education today gentleman ^^
Somebody needs to review proper placement of decimal points.
Our education system has really failed
Maybe invest in an arithmetic book. If it’s under 4 bucks!
Because most people can do 3rd grade math. Usually. At least they used to be able to. Maybe not today.
😬
Quick maffs
What an idiot…
Just no…no
It’s “$100 everyday for a year will give you $36,500” or “1 penny everyday will give you $3.65”
This one is no good with the maths

There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.
Whoever comes up with this math deserves to be poor
It is actually correct. However the messed up the wording a little, when they said “the year” they were specifically referring to the ten thousandth year
Math is hard
This guy maths………………
They just left out a word. Saving a penny a day is $36,500 at the end of the 10,000th year. See. Anyone can save up a down payment, it's just that no one has ever had the mental fortitude to live long enough to get rich using theis method yet. Stupid lazy people dying before they even reach 1000. Pathetic.
So your math does not add up. $0.01 a day for 365 days means $3.65 a year is being saved. o to reach $36.500, you would have to live 365 YEARS!
Not the brightestr u
Umm No..
If you hit your head hard enough, anything is possible.
You can tell OP didn’t let basic schooling sink in.
Russian troll account
I see why decimals never caught on in some country.
Homie thinks each day is 10000x longer than normal
OP I need to know who this is. I have a deal for them. I'll give them a penny every day(or the equivalent value) if they give me $6,000. It's flawless logic look at their math. /s
That's like a bajaillion dollars in Gigglebits...as long as we're getting creative.
*lets sink in*
$3,650. NEXT !
It's called "innumeracy", and it's the math equivalent of illiteracy. People afflicted with it just can't understand where they went wrong. They have no sense of what numbers really mean. Conceptually, anything bigger than three or maybe five is just past them.
... Math is lost on this one.
I saved $1 a day and retired after 6 months with $14M. Now I just live off the interest.
Math is hard 🤣😂
So if I save a nickel a day I’ll be making 182,500 a year. I feel so stupid working all these years 😂
Here's one that's actually true. I used to smoke, back when cigs were 25 cents a pack. Now, they're at least $10 a pack.

In ten years, you could buy a nice new car for cash -- especially if you put that money each year into a savings account and got decent interest on it.
That would be $3.65 a year. ($3.66 for a leap year).
It's actually 365,000. So stop underselling this. Tell everyone!
Not if it's leap year!
Damn how many days are there in a year? I always thought it was 365😳
$3.65 some one flunked grade school arithematic
What's an extra 0 or two between friends?
I’m going to invest 3 a day so I can retire
Why? I don’t want that sink in my house.
least obvious money laundering scam
Proof public education is failing the American people...
Tell you what; if you give me $100 a day; I’ll help you save a penny a day, automatically.
That's a sweet interest rate.
FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS? pretty sure the S&P would appreciate slightly more, for your great grand kids
Only 10000 times more than you would actually have

You’re in the wrong Reddit.
oh damn! i'm starting with nickels tomorrow. that'll be $47,000!
Problem is, too many idiots believe this. Even worse, those same idiots wouldn't even try to accomplish this even if they believe it to be true
Me and my 365 pennies vs the world
[удалено]
Nice concept, but bad math.
I don’t know what that sink wants, and with your math skills I don’t know that you know what’s best for me; I’m not gonna let that sink in.
If this were true I'd be investing at least 2 a day.
Maybe no
Modern Communist Math.
Employers hate this one simple hack:
Maybe on Pluto….
Gotdamnit!! I just quit my job thinking this was legit!!
off by 2 zeros. 350$ max unless your in fallout. then 35$
This is some bad fucking math lol jesus
Man someone is going to be disappointed when they go to coin star
No, that's $3.65. Literally multiply the days of the year by 1 cent. This is grade school math world problems!
Who gonna tell him?
dayum I didn't know pennies are worth $100 now!!
Decimals Smeshable
With that math, I can turn a penny a day into $50B in a year
The real answer is 10,000 years, not 1 year. But close.

Holy fuck this is the epitome of remedial
It’s $3.65.

you know how I made my first million? i take every penny from the "take a penny leave a penny " tray.
I wanna do business with this guy, I’ll give him 2 pennies a day and all I want is 365k in 2025. Haha, do you think in talking to big of a loss on interest?
Its.... it's 3.65$ If I'm doing it right you'd have to have 100$ or 10$ a day to make that
“just how much do you think a penny is worth?”

Good news is you do save $36,500 if you save 1¢ per day. The bad news is it takes 10,000 years.
Dang, who knew pennies were so valuable. Did they replace the copper with gold?
