Just 4 Fun

Would you take one million dollars right now OR wait and get ten million in ten years?
This is tax free money and would also go to your estate should you pass.

DD had her dentist appointment. Routine cleaning/polish and x-rays. No cavities! Big Grin Yay! She will need a little cosmetic work to her front teeth. I made her an appointment for later this month. Don't know how much that will be yet. Her routine visit was $25.

Very slow week at work..Monday my coworker left early, yesterday I stayed home and today she left early again. So far we've got one appointment on the books for this afternoon. Thus the time I have to blog..hehe.. Smile

DH says he's feeling a bit better today. Very tired. His meds say they might cause drowsiness. Plus infections are energy draining anyway.

A note about my enchilada sauce: I looked at a bunch of recipes online and pretty much figured out that you can add whatever sounds good to you. I saw one that had taco sauce, one with salsa, one used tomato paste and crushed, fire roasted tomatoes and I also saw seasoning the sauce with just a packet of taco seasoning. Just in case any of those variations jump out at you and you want to experiment further.

I would wait and take the ten million. It would be hard to wait, but well worth it. At first I felt like I would rather take the money now, but *sigh* it's better to wait. Knowing myself I'd have to be sure I didn't rack up a bunch of debt knowing I'd be getting that money down the road.

    I'd probably do 10 mill in 10 years.

    I think I would take the one million now, so that I could finish paying off my debts, buy a house with cash, fully fund college accounts for my kids, get the vehicle we want, travel a bit, and invest the rest for the future. I'd rather be set up and secure now then wait ten years and maybe struggle in the meanwhile. I think half a million (about what would be left), invested wisely, is plenty of money. Ten million would change my life far too much and I don't think I'd like that.

    If I knew I would be around to enjoy it, I would wait and take the 10mil in 10 years Smile

    I could easily wait the 10 years. Depends how guaranteed it was?

    I'd risk not being around to get it because I am happy with my financial situation as is. This would buy huge security in retirement. (I have life insurance if something happened to me - that would mostly make up the $1 mil - for my fam).

    $10 mil is a lot to bite off, but I am up to the challenge. Wink

    I'd take it now. In ten years I'll be 71 and who knows what shape I'll be in? $1M would make a huge difference right now, and I don't need $10M to be happy.
