The simultion is glitching and breaking up. I don't trust them to pay out the full amount.
Give me all my cash upfront and let me live.

this is the importance of financial literacy as the time value for money means categorically this was a bad call. take the a lump sum & set up a trust fund that has an annual structured pay, term deposit & mutual fund. she'd get weekly checks that accrue & beat inflation

Long term money is a safe bet. If you're still working and doing your thing an extra 4k ain't nothing. You can spend it or flip it.

But upfront money you can get a house now and invest the rest.

Just depends where you are in life

absolutely the right move.

35 co-signs. We are so fukked

1k a week is 52k a year. That’s a raise at your job. Or a 2nd job. Moving into a slightly bigger house. Etc. It is not going to significantly change your life.

Mainly bc it’s not enough to aggressively invest. Technically you could set it all aside and invest but 1k is so small that the average person is going to eat into that money with existing needs. It will blend in way too easily and get spent easily.

Conversely, a million up front to a financially literate person can be aggressively invested. Right off top 250-500k can be put away in any conservative vehicle of your choice money market s&p etc and you’ll double that at LEAST, in 10 years. Like that’s literally your retirement. You can also buy property, you can do so much more with that liquid amount instead of bird feeding

With 1k you can’t even retire!

Plus shes 20,so unless she keeps working the money will be gone by 50. She could probably double that million by 50 pretty easily if she invested it.

250k in the s&p, using an avg 9% return, would net 3.3 million in 30 years

500k @ 9%, would net 6.6 million

I won’t even calculate the full million out of respect. Plus it’s not feasible she’s invest the whole thing

Although, since the the 1k people keep talking about how ‘smart’ and fiscally responsible she is and how ‘if she saved it all’ she’d have a comfy 2 mill retirement, I’d be remiss not to mention that 1 million in the S&P @ 9% in 30 years would be $13,267,678.47

Stop at the bolded. My nikka we´re talking about regular people. You win the lottery and everyone is gonna have their hands out.

shyt will be like this:


and fukk it a million dollars in the grand scheme of things is nothing. Buy a fly house in a major american city and that money is gone right there.

You´re talking about nikkas who got twenty pairs of Dunks and nothing in the bank.

Could you flip a million if you invested carefully absolutely but there´s tons of 40 million dollar slaves walking around now that fukked up a 100 million.

At the end of the day this is all speculation about a chick who decided it was a good idea to play the lottery anyone who plays the lottery isn´t too smart to begin with so getting a grand a week and dollar cost averaging that into ETF´s is the smarter play.
