by the numbers


I had this idea once about how through small and simple things, GREAT things can come to pass. If eveyone in the country were to donate five dollars a week for one year, we would have over 80 billion dollars a year! Think of what we could use that towards. Think of the charities or research for diseases. Maybe we could become self-reliant as a people? Let me make sure I have this right:

5 dollars X 52 weeks X nation's population (314 million) = $81,640,000,000

Now if we did this continually for lets say 30 years it would look like this:

$81,640,000,000 X 30 years = $2,449,200,000,000

That could help us become a more fortified body in creating a mutual goal to be sustaining with businesses, debts, even our own welfare. It is hard earned money, so imagine this idea on an individual scale. If everyone in the nation were to put away in a savings account $100 a week for the next 30 years without any investing or compound interest it would look like this:

100 dollars X 52 weeks X 30 years = $156,000

Or what if we donated 30 cans a month per family in our country? Lets say there are roughly 78.5 million families in the U.S. So multiply that by 30 then take that and multiply that by 12 and you should get over 28.2 billion cans of food a year!

30 cans X 78.5 million families X 12 months = 28,260,000,000 cans a food/year

That was just something in my head today. . .
