Would you accept a guaranteed, lifetime allowance of $50,000 per year (adjusted for inflation $4166.67/month) if accepting it meant that you could never again earn money from either work or investments?

Lemme see. Double what I've ever earned in life without working to earn any more money. Just do volunteer work or goof off.
Hmmm

I don't think so. Our state has an instant lottery game that will pay $1,000 a week for life as a top prize. That works out to about the same thing. If I ever won that it would just mean a more comfortable retirement but it's not enough for me to quit my job. That's just me.

I don't think so. As much as I would jump on it now, that would just be supplemental income for me. I don't want to be told how much money I can make. In 20, hell or even in 10 years....$4100 may not be enough to live on.

Since we are retired , that would be a very nice bonus.

If it meant doing whatever I wanted, never having to worry about income and going wherever I wanted? I would do it in a heart beat.

I think I would jump on that if it was guaranteed until death.

It would tempt the hell out of me to accept that set up, but I don't know....maybe not.

I don't think so, no. As of now, I could probably make due with that amount, but I have a feeling that as soon as I agreed to it the cost of living would rise higher than it now and that figure would wind up stretching too thin.

I dont know about never working again but I would take that amount and not work for at least a decade.
