Would you rather have $1 million now or $5,000 a week for the rest of your life?
I think they have something like this for payouts for the lottery. Would take under 4 years to get to the $1 million mark but I would still opt for the lump sum.

I’d take the $5,000 a week for life. Sure, the lump sum of $1 million sounds tempting, but $5,000 a week means consistent, guaranteed income that never runs out. In under four years, you’d match the lump sum, and every dollar after that is pure profit. It provides financial security, eliminates the risk of blowing through the money too quickly, and ensures a steady stream of income without the pressure of investing or managing a large sum all at once.

That said, if I had the financial discipline (and the right investments), I could see the argument for taking the $1 million now and making it work. But why stress over growing wealth when I could just let the money keep coming in forever?
