Mr. Luxury

Would you rather be given $5 million in cash right now, or receive $1 million a year for the next 10 years?

@swrose22

Definitely the 5 million now, I could use part of it to set up my luxurious life and invest the rest. In the end, I could grow my accounts larger with interest which would give me more than 10,000,000 at the end of those 10 years.

10 more years isn't promised to me, I'll take the 5 million If I was still 30yrs old I would probably have a different answer.

It really depends on how you handle the money. 5 million is more profitable for a skilled businessmen or a skilled stock buyer because a 20% increase can be attained for around 1-4 months or even less if you bought a stock at a right timing.  1 million for a year for 10 years on the other side is like a life insurance and it is better for people who don't have enough knowledge on business. The 1st 5 years can be used to prepare yourself for studying and trying any businesses without getting critically hit if your business didnt go well.

I wonder if the high percentage of people who would prefer to receive $1m every year rather than $5m upfront is because they don’t know how to make that $5m in $50m over 10 years?

1 million each year because 1 million dollars is already a lot of money 🤩🤩

That's so generous of you. I'd prefer direct deposit as opposed to a check.

$1 million per year: Year 1: take care of all of my late hospital bills and debt. ( i hate my insurance) Year 2-3: buy property and build my dream home with my wife. year 4-6: invest money wisely ( i already have a few investments but they are too safe and not too productive) year 7-10: Help out here and there, donation to St.Judes hospital and other stuff.

Let's say you can get a 10% interest rate per year, you would still want 1 million per year.

@samanthamartin6412

I could invest 80% or all of that 1 million this year, knowing whether my investments fail or not, I'd have anther million next year.

5 million = carelessly spending but i would invest the million in real estate every year

@william_gear

If you invested that 5 million in a standard index fund it would give you ~ 7% a year, and you would end up with around 9.8 million after the 10 years, and if you take the 1 million per year and invest it each year, you would end up with around 13.8 million. Therefore, the $1 million per year is better, as it ends up earning you ~ 4 million more.
