$5k and freedom, easily. i live a simple life and only spend like $3k / month on regular stuff, so that would be an extra $2k each month to pursue fun stuff. hell yes. This was posed to me many years ago, and at the time I thought the 2nd option was the way to go. Put in 10 years, build a huge bankroll. You'd still be able to live off the $5k a month, but reinvest the $45k and retire with about $8-10 million in the bank after 10 years. Basically using option 2 to create option 1. The older I get, the more I lean towards the $5k option. Supposedly, it was originally posed as a personality test based on what you value. If you choose option 1, you value time and freedom. The ability to live life on your own terms. You also probably value time spent with friends and family, and have a lot of hobbies. If you choose option 2, you probably live by the motto: do the hard things now for an easy live later. You're not happy with the status quo, and you always want more for yourself. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
