Depends. If you plan on playing the risky markets then take the 2 mill.

If you just wanna be chill with basically 16k a month. :manny:
This of course is not counting what you'd already make at your job that you shouldn't be quitting yet until you use that 4k a week to make a job for yourself.



2 million isn't that much in the grand scheme. And only the most talented can turn 2 million into 200 million...

not realistic cuz its not gonna happen, but i do agree that most folks will choose the stupid fukkin option
It's actually a more realistic scenario. For example, the odds of winning a $2 million lottery are higher than winning a $80 million lottery.

how are you gonna get rich making 4k a week? that's only 208k a year. it would be several years before you can do real damage in the real estate market and that's assuming you saved every penny.

2 million can travel much further and much quicker. What are you still confused about?

208k grand is not money to scoff at.

Put things this way. If I was earning 208k grand a year tax free, I wouldn't care to invest that money in a business venture or something that is more risky. I wouldn't care because at the end of the day, it would just be 1 year.

I would be more hesitant about investing 208k out of 2 million because that would be more than 1/10th of my overall wealth.

2 million can travel much further and much quicker, but once it burns out, that's it. There's less room for risk taking.

2 million at 5% would pay me 100k a year. 4 per week is 208k per year. I'll go with the $2 million.
Love these threads. They expose just how ignorant Coli members are when it comes to finance.


77% of these motherfukkers chose the 4k :mjlol:. Dudes clearly never heard of compound interest or the time value of money

it won't 'burn out' though. you're putting that money into appreciating assets that generate an additional monthly income.

realistically you can pocket 500k just to be safe and still make a killing just off the 1.5 million.

When did I even suggest a time horizon

You're so confident you'll achieve crazy returns but can't even do it managing a small account

Billion dollar hedge funds collapse and athletes with 8, 9 figure deals go broke I guess they didn't know it's easy to flip 2m

shyt why is anyone with 2m right now only at 2m? They should have 20 or 50 or 100 :camby:
