If you could add a zero?

Shamelessly posting here for traffic - interesting hypothetical question came up at a work event last night:
"If you could add a zero to any number in your life, what would it be?"
I eventually settled on my salary but answers ranged from 'number of languages I can speak' to 'number of years I'll be alive' and 'number of weeks annual leave I get'
So.... where would your 'zero' go?

On the end of my savings 😀

My salary, and then I could pay for people to come and do all of the DIY projects that I do not have time for, courtesy of having to work full-time for a living, and not having the motivation to do it after very long days in work! I would also have an excellent standard of living off such an amount of money!

Number of dogs I have.

I'd go from five to fifty and there wouldn't be a happier woman in Britain.😀
