The illusion of being a MILLIONAIRE

Sometimes the little things in life bring the greatest amusement.  Our Romanian bank account shows we have 46,000,000 LEI in it.  No, this is no error - we are indeed swimming in the millions here.  Looking at all the zeroes that follow the 46 is truly amusing.  One would think that dealing with numbers in the millions suggests an important sum.  It is a somewhat important sum, but not as important as we would like it to be.  To be more exact, 46,000,000 LEI is roughly $1600 or E1200 (Euros - the official money of the European Union, widely used both in EU and non-EU states). 
 
So, how does it feel to be a millionaire?  Hmmmm.... how shall we say it....  still not enough!
