To be fair, if I had $999 million, it'd be bugging me all the time until I got to $1B.

Conversely, it'd be bugging me until I got to $50M because even in my wildest fantasies, I'd find it hard to spend even $50M in the years I have left.

(Obvs. the calculus would be different for someone in their 20s / with kids.)

Yeah, but you have to be really careful or you’ll pull the handle just a bit too much and hit $1,000,000,000.01.
