How Much is One Trillion Dollars?

A really long time ago, I remember when $20 in my wallet seemed like a lot of money. By the time my family was growing and the economy was booming, I needed $100 when I was shopping. Today, I need a credit card.

There's a lot on the news lately about the federal budget and the national debt. I remember when a million dollars sounded like a lot of money. Then, it was a billion. Now, I often hear a trillion dollars on the news. How much money is that? Watch the video to learn more . . .



Video compliments of www.mint.com, a free site where you can track your finances and create a budget. You need to add your bank, credit card, home loan and investment account information - Not something I recommend. Then, Mint pulls in your balances, purchases, stock trades, etc. to give you a complete picture of your finances.

About Me

Marilyn KvasnokI’ve gone from green thumb to living green. After spending 20 years of summers out in the yard – planting flowers and vegetables, watering, weeding and reaping the harvest – I’m now going green with the realization that we need to take care of ourselves, our families and the earth. And I found a company to help me do it. I’m a Shaklee distributor.

So, now I’m into a more natural lifestyle. I’m still eating lots of fruits and vegetables, even though they’re not coming from my garden. The big change is eating less processed foods and faithfully taking my vitamins.

It didn’t happen overnight. It was a series of little changes that added up to a healthy lifestyle. And it doesn’t stop here. I continue to reevaluate and make little changes. So, it’s true, the only constant is change.

I'm a full time caregiver for my mom, who's no longer independent. And I support myself with a home business.

I believe we all need to continue to learn and grow. So, I got a computer when they started to be sold to regular folk. And I embraced the Internet when the best I could do was email. It's been a great ride and now here I am - Blogging!
