Lump sum, 4k will be worthless in a few decades due to inflation.

Generally, inflation halves the purchasing power of money every 18 or so years.

In 18 years, it'll be like $2k/day today, or $730k/year.
In 36 years, it'll be like $1k/day today, or $365k/year.
In 54 years, it'll be like $500/day today, or $182k/year.
In 72 years, it'll be like $250/day today, or $91k/year.

Just how long do you plan on living?
