Spending a million

I spent a million dollars today.
Our condo association is re-siding and repairing eleven buildings, and the board voted on the bids today. The total was a bit over a million, and I voted, so...actually, they had a quorum without me, and everyone else voted a different way than I did, so I suppose I didn't actually spend a million, but "not spending a million" is only noteworthy if you're a government.
Incidentally, our Federal FY2011 spending was $3.8 trillion, or $3,818,800 million, which means a million dollars every eight seconds, all day, every day. I didn't vote in favor of that either.
