2 million bucks right now, or $4,000 every week for the rest of your life?

[Arithmetic]

With the 2 milli, you can keep the money in investments and avoid paying capital gains taxes too. Im going with the 2 milli

4k easy

If you fukk up on the 2mil you're done

Good point, I'd do some stupid shyt like buy 8,000 mega million tickets every month.

 

[Alpha Male]

4k/wk = 16K a month, that's more than enough to flip and continuously do it for the rest of your life if shyt don't pan out than lets say just blowing 2mil once

I can buy like 8-10 rental properties right now with 2 million and/or even commercial lot maybe.

I'll be generating a whole lot more than 16k a month.

That's the Islander in you


No way in hell I'm still working with $4k a week untaxed money.

I mean, I have that added sense of security but nikkas will still be working for them extra coins .

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.

Yeah, it's just an example. 5% return is nothing if we consider annual inflation. Our tax system favors the rich and with the 2 million upfront, I'm confident I can manage it well enough to turn it into a nice sum. I think 4k is still the smarter choice for most people.

 

[Strapped]

Imma take the 2 mill upfront , you can die next year

4k a week easy

There's no wrong answer as long as you are true to yourself in terms of your capabilities, desires, and willingness to see things through.

I'm sure i could flip that $2 million, but there's no passion project that I want to get into. I really just wanna travel and enjoy life. $4k/week untaxed would allow me to do that, so I'd just go with that. Plus seeing that I wouldn't spend anywhere close to 4k/week I'd be amassing some savings so if I'm all traveled out in 5 years or so, I'll have a bit of cash I could start a business if desired.

You can take that 2 millie

buy a stock like coca cola that costs roughly $40 and pays roughly a .33 dividend

and every 3 months make $16500 which equates to $5500 per month


and you would still have the 2 million sitting pretty


but nikkas rather wait 10 years to even get close to the 2 million mark

No wonder nikkas aint got shyt

I ultimately think the $4K option is safer with more constraints while the $2MM option has the potential for a higher ROI albeit being riskier.

I honestly put a premium on a sense of security. I can live off of the weekly stipend.

There's no wrong answer

There is a wrong answer

you take the 2 million and it'll grow faster than 4000 coming in a week

WHAT WOULD 2 MILLION AT ONCE
DO FOR ME
THAT 4K A WEEK CANT DO
OTHER THAN BLOW IT ON A MANSION
OR SILLY CARS?

I ALREADY LIVE A COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE...

4K A WEEK ALLOWS ME TO QUIT MY JOB
AND CONTINUE TO LIVE THIS LIFESTYLE
WHILE TRAVELING THE WORLD.

I WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FLIPPING shyt
NOR MANAGING ANY PROPERTIES.

id take the 2 milly up front, you can't buy time back.

put the majority of it in boring shyt like index funds, rest of it in property and stock.
