Lolol at the answers. So if someone came up and offered 50 % of you millions and you had to quit your job and not work, you people are saying no???? Don't believe any of you.



Not that they would turn it down, just that they would have rather earned it, that I can believe but I don’t think for a second anyone here would say ‘no - don’t give me millions of dollars, fuck off.’ LoL

But the choice is be given it or not. If you work any mediocre job you should have a million saved for retierment, be it pure savings or cash / securities and equity. If not you're fucked anyways. So why are people lying saying they want to work till 55 or 60 to get it?

Believe it or not, most retirees don’t have a million in anything hell some of them live month to month on bs fixed income and eat cat food. You live in a dream world where everyone retires a millionaire. This question is would you rather have millions given to you or would you rather earn millions. It’s a simple question and tbh a lot of people will answer the opposite of what they have because everyone wants what they don’t have, even if that is a sense of accomplishment. The outcome in said question is supposed to be the same when in reality trust fund is guaranteed rich and work is not.

You fucked up in life if you're in North America and can't achieve a million in networth before 60.

I'll take the money upfront over the stress.

Disclaimer this is addressing 2x year olds not boomers or Gen x. Although boomers should most definitely it was the largest wealth building period in history.

People should be able to save 15,000 a year from 25 to 60. I mean my God that's only a mortgage which is just forced savings.

The fact is 5/6 people in America fucked up then, the average retirement account in america is at an all time high at 100k, and 1 in 6 people has a million or more.

So I’m sorry if you’re delusional about people but everyone doesn’t retire rich.

Lolol at a million being rich. Trailer homes are half a million here. It will get you a double wide though.

Life is what you make it. You want to have a million in the bank by 60 there's all the opportunity available.

I can find you jobs that require zero education that pay 80k plus per year that are never filled.

It's not an argument. I'm aware of national averages. I'm also aware that anyone who has actually worked and will have a million plus in the bank would take it upfront. The rest are lying to themselves.
