Honestly, I originally planned to just convert most of it to XP for a ton of free Donuts, but after my Conform-O-Meter Bonus got a huge boost during the Christmas 2014 Event (I took advantage of a 30% off sale on Amazon Coins and the 30% extra Donuts per Boatload to buy a buttload of Donuts and then spent most of them on getting 365 of the Snowball II Snowcat decorations) and what with new buildings and more space from the recent Land Expansions I've been getting a lot more Cash and XP and I wound up getting to 1 Billion ahead of schedule.

Given that I can easily get 100 Million Cash per week it should only be 10 weeks to get to 2 Billion, but 100 Weeks (a.k.a. 2 YEARS!!!!) to get to 10 Billion Cash (okay, actually, I already have 1 Billion, so it would be closer to 90 Weeks, which is still a long time). If I do let my Cash keep accumulating to 10 Billion then the numbers for Cash would likely get closer to the numbers for Donuts on hand (graphically overlapping the entire Donut graphic and probably looking like a single longer, much larger number), and if it ever got to 100 Billion (almost 20 years from now!) the numbers would overlap for sure. Of course, these estimates are based on my current rate of accumulating Cash, if I continue to increase my Conform-O-Meter Bonus and place more revenue producing decorations and buildings (and especially if we get more room for placing those items) then I as I earn more and more per week the time needed to get to the next Billion will shrink.

I will still occasionally convert Cash to XP, especially when another Level is likely due or I need a few Donuts, but it only takes just over 3 Million Cash for me to get 10 Million XP for another maxed out Bonus Level. If I'm still playing enthusiastically next Christmas, I will buy a lot more of the Snowball II Snowcat decorations (they are not only the best value at only 20 Donuts for a 2.00% Bonus, but they only take up one square making them very space efficient) and get my Payout Bonus up much higher, maybe even up to 5000% or more. It could take awhile, but that's another milestone to test/try for, getting it to 10,000% or more (I'm betting there's no fixed ceiling to it, though I have seen some wonky math going on as I get my Conform-O-Meter Payout Increase Bonus higher and higher, like extra hundredths of a percent mysteriously appearing and disappearing, and the Cash total coming out right, but the XP being a bit low (for example, with my Bonus at 2400.00% I should be getting exactly 25 times as much Cash and XP {The original 100% plus 24 times that in bonus} and I get exactly 25 times the Cash from every building, but the XP is somewhat lower, somewhere between 24 and 25 times the base value) and the effect is fluctuating, but in general I'm getting less XP than I should).

What I really hope is that we keep getting more expensive decorations, especially small ones that can be placed on the Boardwalk as well as the Land. Right now I buy and resell multiples of the Tiki Bar, at 95,000 Cash each when I need a few million XP to finish up another Bonus Level. I we had something small like that but that cost closer to a Million Cash I could convert Cash to XP more quickly. I'm sure we will, eventually, we recently got the Book Burning Mobile that sells for 200,000 Cash, too bad I can't place them on the Squidport Boardwalk (I don't have much free space on land, at least not all in one area, but I do have plenty of open room on my Boardwalk, and thanks to recent changes in the interface storing or selling multiples of the same item, if they are close together, much, much easier).
