Again…OP said you have to work a lifelong job …you have no option to work one or two or five years and then retire …I’m guessing you have to work until you’re 60
As everyone has said work hard for 1 mil a year if you can retire early in 5ish years. Otherwise the 100k a year job. No sense having a shitload of money at 65. Probably 1/4 of us will be dead before we even reach retirement age.
Correct. Life expectancy is dropping because of our horribly unhealthy lifestyles. I have no idea why ppl that got diabetes in their 20’s and are 50 lbs overweight with high blood pressure think they’re going to live to 74
Sure it does. Your hypothetical kids could go to better schools and have things you never had with the $1 mil salary. Your stay at home wife could shop all day. You’re vacation could be 10x better than the one with the 100k salary. You would be giving up time with your family but in turn you would be giving them a “better” life. Of course the argument is whether or not it’s “better” but I can see it both ways.
The skills and mission are nonexistent. You don’t do anything meaningful. Nobody will remember the work you do. You sell penny stocks to old people. You’re not finding the cure to cancer.
You wouldn’t be able to do other work. You can’t do anything that adds or subtracts to the amount of money or time. You work the same job your whole life until retirement. You can make a little money on the side like stocks but no more than 10% of your yearly income. Otherwise it would be too easy to pick the 100k.
Yes. You now work as a miner in Africa somewhere making your 1 mil salary. The work is grueling. 30 years into working every day, you realize had you never made the post I’m quoting you could have had an office job. You then kill yourself by driving your own pickaxe into your skull. Your wife marries your best friend and they enjoy all your money as your kids call him dad instead.
