Would you rather have $3000 deposited into your bank account every week tax free for the rest of your life or would you...

I would take the two million and start my banana business

3k - hands down.

>get $3000 every week for the rest of your life
>die 2 months later

nice1 ;)

stuffing bananas up your ass isn't a business

2.025MM is tempting, but $3,000 every week for life seems more comfy, and still gives you leeway to invest if you are somewhat frugal, so I will take that.

thats not what i would do

I'd take the 2 million, then all in on LINK and become the richest man in history and the new ruler of the world after the singularity

If you factor in an average of 2% annual inflation, then the lump sum is the better option.

Lump sum
>but user in 12 years it starts being less than the payments!
Just imagine what I could make even with a very conservative portfolio on that lump amount in 12 years. And could continue to compound over that time. It’s a better deal. Annuities are for fags who can’t handle wealth and blow it all on lamborghinis.

kek

$3k per week for sure. That's $144k per year tax-free.

2 mil retire in the tropics comfy

It's actually $156k per year.

3k a week means 156k a year, in a decade it's only 1.5 million dollars.

2 mil lump sum gives you 140k a year invested in a standard 7% per anum interest.

I'll take the 2 million.

you can invest the 3k as well

Most people should talk the 3k weekly cuz they're fucking retards and would burn the 2 mill in a year

I'd take the 3k because its protection against being a retard. And it would also feel dope to be able to fuck up or spend all my money and know more money is coming.

If I had 2 million dollars, I would probably make a ton of bad decisions immediately. With the slower trickle of 3000 a week, I'd have time to digest my new wealth and adapt.

3000 duh

Retarded question

Can i have 1 mil in lump sum and $1500 per week pls?
If that's not possible then i'd take 2 million.
USD might just go to shit one day, better use it now when it still has some value.

i'd honestly take the 3k a week. less stress, don't have to worry about anything. also work my current job and i'd be super comfy

You'd be catching up.

Why in the world would you work if you get 3k/week?

The state of American education

Business & Finance board and not a single person knows finance

3k a week is a much better option, even if you assume you can get 7% returns on your lump sum

How the hell would getting 3k a week and having nothing in the bank and earning interest only on the 3k you have, be better than getting a lump sum of 2 mill then earning basically 3k a week anyways after investing it. Then you can also reinvest that 3k as well.

The 2 million option is just far better.

you'd bl0w that money in a year

if we are on the bottom I will take the 3000
if we are on the top i need the 2mil so I can pivot

We are at the very top !

I'd take the 2 mil and put the entirety of it into shitcoins and BTC/XMR

No I'm not a financially irresponsible retard. I'd invest it wisely into dividend stocks and also diversify the rest of the 2 mill into other areas that will give me interest or payouts.

Aren't securities legal in the US if you have over 1 mil? Why not put 1 million into a good security?

the lump sum of course, are you all idiots

it would take almost 13 years to reach the ~2 million value nominally
then consider inflation and it would be more like well i dont know 15-20 years to reach equal value
then consider the time value of the money over those 20 years and how much you could have grown 2 million in that time...

plus I'm not a zoomer I'm probably not even going to live for another 20 years

the lump sum payment is far superior

do you think you're some kind of a badass?

The latter.

Opportunity cost of inflation etc etc.

yeah im a badass fuck you

take the 2 mil, buy a commercial investment property, make 3k a week from rent

No it is not. If you actually want to learn look up online pdf of book "fundamentals of corporate finance" or something like that. It is the book used in most intro finance courses.

So you can either receive 2MM today
or 156k/year in perpetuity
present value of a perpetuity= cashflow/discount rate
If we use 7% as the discount rate
156k/0.07 = 2,228MM

if you use 8% or higher, then the lumpsum would be better

With the lump sum I can buy millions of Chainlink right now. With the weekly payments, it’ll only be 10-30 weeks until that 3k will only get me 2-3 Linkies each week. Obviously you gotta go with the lump sum.

The reason I said 7% is because it's the standard safe low rate boomers boast about. You can easily get more if you invest well. You think I would actually just keep 2 mil in a 7% per year thing. That was just to demonstrate that even with a super safe boomer tier investment strategy you are close to beating the 3k. Taking higher risk and getting something that is 10% are you are golden.

Imagining investing a million of your 2 million into Chainlink. Christ you'd unironically be a fucking billionaire.

a dump, because you can spend or hide it, otherwise child support and alemony

biz autists have never heard of time value of money.

people should take the higher value between ($3,000x52)/interest rate or $2,025,000.

so above circa 7,7% the lump sum is better, below 7,7% the weekly payout is better.

seems like we are the only 2 people here with finance knowledge

yeah well of course it depends what kind of returns and strategy (risk/return) you are looking for. Personally I would take the yearly payments because it would comfy and stress-free, and very low risk.

exactly this

Yes it is user. Yes it is.

No you retard.

3000/week

No you're a retard as well.
you never touch the principle and you don't account for this

Get 3k each week and have 0 extra in the bank
Or
Get between 2725 usd a month (assuming historical market rr of 7%) and have 2025000 extra in the bank.

You don't get shit brainlet

$3000 a week, no way I can fuck up that way

You just take pv of perpetuity but you forget to take account the lumpsum you own. Read those fundamentals again

>You can easily get more if you invest well.

Why do you try to argue when you don't understand. The perpetuity is EQUIVALENT to having the Present Value of it today.

Also in reality it is not possible to withdraw 7% from a stock portfolio without touching principal

Lump sum because compound interest.

Lump some. Could make 3k a week and lose none of the 2mm off no risk cd's, bonds, whatever.

3k/week for life

we live long in my family.

I would take the lump sum and dump it into an index. 6% interest per year on 2 mil is 120k. Then coumpounded into the prinicipal would make you rich
