Technically incorrect, but depending on where you're from - a trillion dollars in the US may be a million million, but in the UK a trillion is a thousand million, i.e., 1,000,000,000.

Ah my bad - yes, you're right, a thousand million is a billion in the UK.

But it's still different in the UK (checked on Google) - a trillion is 1 with 18 zeros after it but in the US it's 1 with 12 zeros after it.

I think that's called "a Gazillion dollars" in the USA (no google).

Sorry Tbombz, i know you're an expert and all but you don't borrow money to pay existing loans, it gets you further into debt. Just thought I'd throw a little commonsense at ya!
