What is Huge amounts of money?

Huge amounts of money are like having a mountain of your favorite candy, way more than you could ever eat in one day.

Imagine you have a piggy bank that’s super full, not just with coins, but with bills, those paper squares you get when you do something good, like cleaning up your room or helping someone. Now imagine instead of one piggy bank, you had a whole room full of piggy banks, and each one was filled to the top.

That’s what huge amounts of money feel like, not just a little extra for ice cream, but enough to buy a bunch of ice creams for your whole class, and still have some left over!
