Hypothetical question

Would you accept a deal today that guarantees you a $65000 profit
Or
Wait it out and possibly get anywhere from no profit to over $1,000,000?

Which would you choose and why?

65,000… because it’s guaranteed and I don’t have good luck haha.

@WaryWitchWandering Exactly.

@SomeMichGuy I’m not a gambler if you couldn’t tell haha

@WaryWitchWandering I hope you could do exactly as you said, if offered this choice on an actual game show.

@SomeMichGuy oh I could… because the idea of losing that much money for the slight chance of more money— it’s a no-brainer for me. That’s just how I am. The 65,000 could be added to savings, or used for things I otherwise wouldn’t spend on for myself and family

@WaryWitchWandering EXACTLY.

You are wise.
