    To imagine the huge difference between a billion and a million I always liked the example - a million seconds is roughly 11.7 days, a billion seconds is around 31.7 YEARS.

    You are not 30 yet or you would know that there is almost no difference.

      I’m 35 but this aged me another 20. But not as bad as when I realized that the 70s are closer to my date of birth than the present day is.
