          That sure makes it sound like 800 million is a lot more money than any one individual should be worth while folks are homeless, starving, and dying without care.

          Even 8k for me would help me get out of my current gutter. 80k would be life changing money, even if I still would need to keep job searching.

          Someone who’s better with money than me could probably retire on a well-invested $800k in my country.

          I don’t mean retire at retirement age when you get the national pension too. I mean retire at any age and withdraw a sensible amount so that it keeps growing.
