39 billion for what?

For the EU budget the UK approved before brexit. Basically U.K. should have delayed article 50 two years until what they signed on to ran full.

The Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program) cost $13.3 Billion between 1948 and 1952. In today’s dollars it’s over $100 Billion. Add interest and, well, you get the idea.
Why would England have to pay $39B? So other countries won’t want to follow England out of the EU.
