If you earn a thousand dollars, okay. About 20% of that goes to the federal government. It's called taxes. So that's $200 that goes to the taxes. Some people pay as much as $400 to tax. For every thousand dollars, you would only have $600 left over. Let's take my income now to $1 million.
Oh, yeah, baby, yeah.
Okay, we're gonna pay out $400,000 in taxes. We can live pretty good on 200 grand now. What do we have left? Over 400,000. Do is the point of math.

Yes.
