So i saw some dude asking people " do you want $150k now or two million in two years " are everyone is like, " il wait. " why? how you do guarantee does two million dollars?
why not take does $150k and but a house or land with it? the majority of people don't even have a home to live in, but am going to wait with zero guarantee, this is just like the social security thing, how do you know, even if you manage to reach the age and approved for it, that what you get is enough after inflation?
@Justicar so you're going to take a gamble? 50/50 you win, 50/50 you just lost the thing. delayed gratification is good but, sometimes you have to judge if its really worth the wait.
the same thing can be said with a guy who delayed having sex with his wife, and someone else ending up fucking her. and when it comes to money, it's better to take a good deal now, the having zero guarantee for a future good deal.
@RodrickSage your initial example does not say anything about guarantees or the lack of guarantees. If you impose randomness then 150k now is the way to go.
