If you had the choice which would you take

Question

A, £1 Million in your bank account tomorrow.

or

B, £1000 a week for 20 years.

Your thoughts please.

Answer 1

A.

Why, you offering?

Answer 2

I would take the million straight up. I know the 1,000 over twenty years will give 400000 more. The thing to think is if you spend say a thousand a week out of the million you would make that four hundred thousand up in less than twenty years.  

Answer 3

I'd take the million, so I could make the move to Crete that I dream of, now!

And pay the girls school fee's over there, and drink retsina by my infinity pool ~ aw AZ you've set me off now....

Answer 4

A grand a week for 20 years.

That way I know that no matter what happens I've always got something to cover myself. I know for a fact I'd blow a million on things and not have much to show for it.

Answer 5

Answer B. I could grow more money with the 1000 a week than one big payment would amount to.  

Answer 6

IF......lol

£1 million I could be dead tomorrow...

Answer 7

The million. There is a round the world cruise waiting for me.

Love that photo btw,,i still have it :)

Answer 8

The £1000 per week.

2 reasons -

I couldn't spend it all at once &

It adds up to £10.4 million rather than £1 million.

Answer 9

A

Answer 10

Million in the Bank..Ive made a grand a week before & trust me it dont last long,well not with a family like mine.

Answer 11

I would take it all now, as I might not live 20 years or the money might not be worth anything later on..

Answer 12

Easy

£1 million in the bank tomorrow as the bank interest alone will outstrip option B

If however you had worded it so it was say £1500 a month a week over 20 years (thereby making it more tempting) I would say option B.

But as the question stands there is NO reason whatsover to go for Option B. You are losing out on money that way.

Answer 13

it would have to take the grand a week as the wife would spend a million inside a week

Answer 14

£1000 a week for the next 20 years.  Its more and you would appreciate it more than just a one lump sum.

Answer 15

I'd say if you were under 40 then take the weekly amount, it will add up to more in the long run.

However if you're over 50 you might be well advised to take the million in the bank and just enjoy your life.

If you're 40-50, well, you'd really have to seriously think about it.  

Answer 16

A. then i'd have the money str8 away. i'd learn to budget it tho.

Answer 17

Id go for B, Im c**p with money and id likely blow it all.  

Answer 18

A !!!!!!!

Answer 19

The million in my Bank account tomorrow.

A million in your bank account would earn you about £50k per year maybe more.

Inflation will erode the value of your money. £1000 per week nineteen years from now will probably only be worth about £400 per week in today's money.

Answer 20

The million.  I could spend the grand in a weekend gannin oot on the Toon.
