| 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? | |

| 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. | |
