How is it identical? One has a difference of 1000 the other of 4000. We all know that $4000 is much more than $1000.
The only thing they have in common is that both amounts have doubled, but I think there is a huge difference between 1000 to 2000 with 1 million to 2 million although they both have only doubled.
No, actually. With money the only thing that matters is the degree of change, not the simple number.
The change from 1 million to 2 million is much more important than the change from 99 million to 100 million.
Try an experiment: take a calculator or a spreadsheet. In one case start with 1000 then keep doubling it. In the other start with 1 million and keep adding 1 million.
