this is the classic long term satisfaction>>> short term gratification dilemna.

You can turn that 4k a week into longer term investments. There's a better chance you'll be able to support your kids and grandkids, etc.

Plus...let's not front like 16k a month isn't enough for most of us so do our stunting, flexing, budgeting, etc. :yeshrug:,

There's no right answer here by the way. But let's say OP gave yall this choice back in 2005. Yall take the $2 million. Decide to play the market. You're being safe. You bet on blue chip/value stocks. You brought some real estate properties too. Real estate is always safe. In 2008, you would've jumped off the nearest rooftop :russ: That's why Warren Buffet and Jack Bogle just tell nikkas to invest in index funds to save people from themselves.
:russ:Faaaaaaaaaacts. Folks have went belly up with much more at stake than 2mil.

That 2 milly is nice, but I would take that 4k for a number of reasons, one of which is the economy eats a dikk, I still got a 4k check coming, in addition to whatever else I have going on.

16k a month?:usure:If folks can't make investments from jump after the first month, something is SERIOUSLY wrong. Certain neighborhoods in Chicago, I feel like I could buy up the block
within a couple years, and STILL have bread (I wouldn't stop working, I would simply work wherever I want, whatever hours I want.)

EASILY $2,000,000.

There is literally no logical reason besides saying "I'll blow through it quickly" to choose the $4,000. I thought that it would be 75% choosing $2,000,000, yet it turns out 75% of people voting are brain-dead.:dead::dead::dead:.
yeah and then when nikkas take that 2m and they fukk it up yull be the first nikkas laughin...so how u gonna fault somebody that want's to make the best decision for THEM if they wanna take that 4k weekly ? no answer is the wrong answer...everybody not hustlers everybody not tryna be moguls or be jay z or flex on nikkas etc etc...some nikkas just wanna live comfortable...but you wanna call them brain dead...would you call some of these cats in here brain dead if they took the 2m and ran thru it in 2 years ?

Yes, blowing through the $2,000,000 in two years would make them foolish. However, there is no doubt that the potential for the best ROI is by taking the $2,000,000. It also has more risk, but the potential is higher there as well.

4k a week easy. You can do alot with 2mil but you wouldn't need to with 4k a week. You could save 2k every week.

I have to chuckle at dudes saying wanting 4k per week is slave mentality. I think all of the arguments in favor of the 2 million regard expediency of getting money and worry about something happening to them. There's fear in those statements. I'd wager that many of those individuals never hold onto money for very long - I used to be in that camp when I had a family member taking money from me without asking. Spend it now so nobody else can affect it. THAT'S the slave mentality that holds us back. You end up running through money and not using it the way you really want to. I hope you guys get out of that mindset so you can look into building wealth and not just sitting on a lot of cash.
