225k in 2025 dollars is life changing for anyone in the middle class of income. The reason you were unable to do anything with it is because you were already earning too much.

$240k bonus was double my yearly salary.
I think you probably know people who've gone though something like this via inheritance. A parent dies, leaves them $200-300k You don't see their life change at all. Of course most people don't inherit that much but enough do that you probably know some of them or your family knows some of them and yet nothing noticable changed in their life.
Presumably people discovering these bugs are not in the middle class of income.
