Owning a billion dollars seems like a dream come true for many, but the reality of managing such wealth can be overwhelming. With a fortune of one hundred million in the bank, the interest alone brings in five million dollars a year, roughly $13700 a day. However, the burden of managing such enormous wealth becomes apparent when considering the cost of living a lavish lifestyle.

Even a simple meal of beef noodles becomes an extravagant affair, with each bowl costing 210 yuan after adding 200 yuan for beef. This luxury extends to every meal, with lunch totaling 820 yuan for two bowls of beef noodles and dinner costing 1832 yuan for three bowls and a marinated egg. Living under the pressure of spending such exorbitant amounts of money every day can be anxiety-inducing, as the cycle of spending and replenishing the wealth continues without end.

The narrator's realization that the stress of managing such wealth is not worth it leads them to a decision to simply live a modest life and not pursue the one hundred million. The message is clear: the burden of excessive wealth can be more painful than the benefits it brings.
