I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.

Compared to ops super power where he can literally create money out of mucus, it seems very mundane

This is totally unnecessary but here it goes. An average human sneeze less than 4 times a day, lets take it as 4. Recommended amount of sleep for an adult is 7-9 hours. Lets assume OP sleeps 6 hours a day. Considering the only post shared by OP related with the news is a post about Arizona, I assume OP is from Arizona. So I will be calculating with the data driven by Arizona authorities.

OP: 29200$ per year

@[email protected]: 2190 hours per year => 2190 * 13.85$(Arizona minimum wage) = 30.331,5$

So clearly @[email protected]'s superpower is more powerful.

fwiw I'm in Michigan, where minimum wage is $10.10.

2190 * $10.10 = $22,119

I make more than that, but I'm salary, so more work actually lowers my hourly wage. I couldn't tell you how many years it's been since I've worked only 40 hours.

I'd like more time to do fun things like read, play video games, run or go for walks, or house maintenance, etc

I was getting ready for bed, having been up several hours past the time I normally go to bed because of work, so my comment may have been situationally motivated
