As a brah who's traveled all over the world....4k a week is fukking ridiculous. U can live a crazy life with that doe
And that's all I'd wanna do. They don't hear you tho. Some people just wanna live and love life, not worry about running a business to gain more money. It's like it blows their minds that not everyone is so capitalistic that they live to make money. Some people just make money to live :ld:

I guess scalability and repeatability isn't an issue to the coli

I can get lucky with aggressive strategies and flip $1000 to say $3000 in a year

Give me real money and it's no different, it's actually easier - coli

Now you're making up expenses :dead:

You just say shyt to say it. 4k a week after taxes is well over what I currently make. And I do a fair bit of traveling and saving already. 4k a week is enough for me to quit my job and never work again. I won't live like Jay-Z, but I have no desire to live like Jay-Z.
Im making up having monthly expenses :what:

2 milli. I can do more with the dollar now. Who knows how bad it will depreciate in value if not totally collape. I can buy assets and investments today that will pay me over a lifetime.

Yeah, the problem with this is that everyone is going to use a portion of the principal, nobody is just going to leave it alone.

Most won't have the patience to wait a year or two for interest or investment to grow and only use a portion of the growth to allow the two million to compound

People forget they don't have to spend the 4k weekly and can invest what they save

I'll do a time value of money calculation to see which one has the highest future value

This thread really shows who would rather fast money over guaranteed money. People keep saying tomorrow isn't promised and pick the 2 million but fail to factor death into that equation as well. That 2 million is going to get taxed when you die. Leave it to your family? Taxed. Even if they do wind up with a respectable remainder of the 2 million they haven't built any generational wealth. People who get lump sums of money often blow through it and are back to square one. What if you up and get sued?

I'll take that 4 thousand per week every time. Brehs really acting like an extra $16k per month is fukking chump change. shyt, with that you have a down payment for rental properties every few months AND you have the leeway to get things wrong several times without any real loss. A couple of rental properties acquired per year will build generational wealth. Understand that assets = wealth, not money.

Would take 4k a week, but what if America is destroyed before 25 years and they fukk up my checks, what if inflation takes a huge jump in the next decade?

Is the 4k inflation adjusted? is it the value of 4k USD no matter the currency? Can the government fukk me over due to some loophole

If all is consistent, probably the 4k :patrice: if other factors can come in, give me all of my shyt right now :ufdup:
