It'd be smarter to take the money later, but I'm with the group of people who were hit by the economy, and waiting ten years won't help at all. So I'd take the one million.

It's pretty similar buying stocks, you spend money right now, wait for the stock to mature, and gain more later. So if the stock's wroth is gaining a million dollars every year, you would wait for the stock to hit it's peak before selling it.

I'd take ten later. A million bucks is more than I know what to do with right now.

I'd take the 10 million later. Pay off my collage funds, buy a house and a car, and put the rest in a bank for a rainy day.

What if you asked me this question 10 times in a row? I would have 10 million dollars 10 years early

because one million dollars a year is better than one million dollars once.


I think it meant you get none of it for 10 years, but at 10 years you get 10mil.

I'd take the 1 million now. You run a higher risk of dying within the 10 years and may never see the money.

I'll take it later, I don't have really much use for that much money right now.

If you took the million now, you'd get taxed like crazy. 10 million over 10 years wouldn't be taxed as much (if you get a little every week) and in the end, you end up with more.

10 million in ten years, but if I was an old man I would pick 1 million now because I might not be alive in ten years.
