This really made sense to me and I am NOT that technologically literate. And I definitely do not understand coding or this byte structure thing. But when you said-ok this piece is the program or file saying this, and this one is telling it this-that helped me wrap my brain around it. Thank you! Off to submit my resume to Twitter! Oh wait…

4.5% x Inheritance=$28,000. This can then be arranged to read Inheritance=$28,000/4.5% Inheritance equals $622,222.22. Don’t forget that 4.5% mathematically is represented as .045.

Maybe Plato. Or one of those motivational philosophers. IDGAF. It’s good advice.
