    One million is 1000 times one thousand, and one billion is 1000 times one million. So:

    If you had $1 million and spend at a rate of $1000 per day it would take 1000 days to spend it all. That's 2.74 years. Now if you had $1 billion it would take 1000 times as long to spend it all at that same rate - or 2740 years.
