It would take your hour counting the cash.
You could offer someone a cool million for a hug, and let them know that by the time you land it would be great if they gave you 500k for another hug. At least you make someones day and potentially end up with half a mil.
You’re not doing much spending because it would take more than an hour to count a million dollars.
You could search for something, anything, and you would get results for what you looked for. Now it’s just ads or some bullshit you weren’t even looking for.
Lets say they do count 100 in five seconds. We don’t know what bills are in this million, and not many places are going to have money counters like that. It’s going to near impossible to have a million counted in that time. If someone shows up to buy something with a million in cash, it’s not going to be a quick process. You’ll need to fill out a form for the IRS for anything over 10k. You’re going to want to be damn sure they aren’t counterfeit, so you’re going to test each bill. That million will go poof way before it’s done being counted, if they don’t tell you to take it to the bank and bring them a cashiers check. Which brings up an interesting point, can we just take this money to the bank and turn it into a cashiers check? That could be a game changer.
