Okay, I've got my calculator, and this is what it says, say 1% interest a year... 2.31488518x10 to the power of 11...if I read it correctly... You could very easily live off .001% interest a year!! I'm also trying to work out how they managed to get that figure, I know Visa screwed up, but I can't see where they got that figure from
