$1 Million Guaranteed or Coin Flip for $1 Billion?

[lib123]

one mil is guaranteed, flip the coin and you're back to being depressed

I wouldn't be depressed if I took a 50% chance at winning $1 billion instantly and lost.

You can't retire of 1 million BUT that would be enough to pay off your debts, make your your children at least have a head start in life and you have enough left over to invest in business or the markets which ever you choose.

True but imagine what you can do with $1 billion.

No doubt. I have a tendency towards bad luck so I move conservatively.

Really surprised most of y'all would take $1M.

Why would it be surprising when 1 million would still change the average person's life for the better.?

If we’re talking tax free 1 million will absolutely change your life y’all are tripping in here.

Even if it was taxed at 50%. 1/2 million is still changing most people’s lives.

One million wouldn't make a material dent in my current lifestyle. So coin flip.

I wouldn't go to California though. Unless I've got crazy money I'm not moving.

yea but real estate goes up quicker here. vegas would be a good option since things are much cheaper there but that market is going to explode the wrong way one of these days

It's too damn expensive, I wish I could afford to live in Cali or Vegas though. If I become wealthy some day I'm spending at least 4 months a year in some of the two.

Because you have a 50% shot at getting $1 billion.
