+====== Fun Fact: The Power of Wealth (And What *You* Can Do) ======
+**There are approximately 3,028 Billionaires in the world**, controlling **US$16.1 Trillion** in total net worth. \\
+Not impressed? Let's go bigger:  \\
+**There are over 58 million Millionaires** globally (yes, each billionaire is technically one of them too), together accounting for a colossal **US$213.8 Trillion**.\\
+\\
+----
+=== Imagine This ===
+What if just **10%** of that total wealth went toward global betterment annually?
+* Solar infrastructure.
+* Environmental restoration.
+* Public health and education upliftment.
+The world would be transformed, year after year. But... that's not how it's going (yet).
+----
+=== Here’s the Real Takeaway ===
+We can't all be billionaires.
+We can’t all be millionaires.
+But each of us can **do something**.
+Take this example:  \\
+In **2019**, **my family and I donated trees** to a nature reserve.  \\
+In **2029**, those trees will be converting **980 tons of fresh oxygen per year**.  \\
+That’s real. That’s making a difference for the benifit of....\\
+----
+**→ Everyone can do something. Start where you are, with what you have.**
+The world needs *you*, not your millions.
-This is when you divert 75% of your income to needs such as everyday expenses, 15% to long-term investing and 10% for short-term savings. It's all about creating a balanced and practical plan for your money.
