Glen Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Question is simple. If given the option would you rather take 1 million dollars cash now but never be able to work again, or would you take 200k a year but be forced to work the same job you're currently at till you're 80 years old?

I'd be the highest paid butcher in the country, probably. Edited March 14, 2020 by Dome probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtait93 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 One million dollars. Giving up my future and any chance to alter it even if it’s a job I love seems ludicrous to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The union would help me out, wouldn't be long before I got seniority at my store and be writing the schedules. As I got older I'd just make myself part time. My position wouldn't change, so I'm assuming that's legal for the question. A lot of old guys still hold down the fort in the unions stores here pop in for a few hours on the weekend (early AM, home before noon on Sat and Sun), show up and hang out for an hour or so while doing an order a couple times a week, just make sure everything is running smoothly. Probably at the store 10-12 hours a week. Most of them are really happy having a job like that and the stores like not having to pay high end (for a grocery store) salary to a guy who's at the store all the time, the less experienced meat cutters make less so they'd rather have them strictly cutting meat when they're at work. I could make that work as I got my years built up. If you're saying I can't change my hours or anything, i'd just take the 1m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 take the million now is an easy choice, it's the only sure thing here. Living till 80 isn't guaranteed and working till 80 is a non-starter I'd bank the cash and then I'd just volunteer at whatever avocation I wanted to be a part of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
