Create a bank and start to screw people over.

I would take the one million now so that I can go to business school, learn how to manage a business, start one, and then make ten million in less than ten years

You run a higher risk of dying within the 10 years and may never see the money.

Ten million definetly. Nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars now, and the last dollar in ten years. There. Ten mill in ten years.

Well, I certainly would have a use for a million dollars right now. It would be great to have ten, and I don't necessarily need the money; but, it would be helpful.
You didn't quite specify on that point, so I will take the ten millions in ten years, by a rate of one million a year now that's a compromise.

If I took the million now, I could get all of my college paid off now and save my parents the stress of having to pay for it. If I were to take it in ten years, assuming that I do in fact live to be 28, I could get a magnificent foundation for my future set up and plenty of extra cash to afford luxuries or to philanthropize.

You should cconsider 2012. it might actually happen! not...
I would take the ten million dollars in ten years. that way I would be 26 and able to spend on whatever i want. probably use it to go to college. does anyone have ten million dollars?

Im going to need those 10 million later on. It will also be something to look forward to.

a mil now take half and put it in a high interest account... you have 500k to live on for ten years on top of whatever you make currently then withdraw the account thats just been sitting and growing

Ten million definetly. Nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars now, and the last dollar in ten years. There. Ten mill in ten years.

id take it now. i dont need much money and 1 million is more then enough to have a good life. i also need it right now and in my situation i cant really think that late in the future

1 million right now. I don't know if I'll be alive in 10 years.

I agree with xfirealchemistx you never know what might happen in ten years time, I would take my million now and put it in a high interest savings bank account, because I could still withdraw money when I need it but I will get more fast.

Definitely go with the ten mill down the road.

Are you able to put it in one of those accounts that you can't touch for 10 years and grows like crazy? Because if so, I'm going with the 10 million and put it in one of those.
