Damn, y'all take a hypothetical that will never happen to anyone here pretty damn serious.

Oh well, I would be alright either way.

$50 million then invest it. 4% annual return still gets you $2 million a year, plus you still have the $50 million in the bank

It's kind of blowing my mind seeing all the people say $2 mil/yr.

50 million tax free, but if I invest the 50 million, I'm assuming in this situation, my investment earnings are NOT tax free.

Vs

2 million a year, tax free.

If I can invest the money at 6%, that's 3 million a year, but after taxes, it's more like 2 million a year. Maybe even a bit less.

So I probably need to get 8% a year for it to work out.

I'd probably still take the 50 million. Even if I have to pop a bit pf principal in some years, I should still come out ahead.

The answer is 2 million. Do I want my count of a sister in law or wife’s new boy toy enjoying it if I die 2 years in? frick that. It gets dolled out for only me to enjoy.

But you also have 50mm behind that.


I'll make you a deal: find someone to give me 50, and I'll pay you 2 a year until you die. Deal?

In other words, how many of you believe you will live more than 25 more years from today?
