     @waifu $1000 a week is just 5.2% too, it's easy to get that kind of yield everywhere.

     @lain@lain.com would have been better to buy a house and rent it, but I guess money scares people

     @Jens_Rasmussen no, she gets less, it's easy to get a yield higher than 5.2% a year, and she'll also always get dollars this way which inflate away, while she could have done a gold/fiat/crypto mix or whatever with the full million.

     @lain Surely she gets more than the million this way, no? Or is she just conscious of her own spending habits?

     She's young enough it makes sense. Assuming she would probably not invest the $1 million to last more than 20 years.

     @sickburnbro @lain yeah sure that was half a joke because the (((taxman))) takes so much
     >honestly in 10 years that's half of the money right there
     inflation will shred your value though. You need $650k to purchase the same item in 2025 that cost $500k in 2015.

     @WandererUber @lain honestly in 10 years that's half of the money right there, if you are 25 and you do it smart you can probably win out especially if you avoid a huge tax burden by taking only 50k a year.

     She couldve bought herself a house then rented out 2 or 3 other houses and make more while not having to pay rent or a mortgage herself while also raising the value of her properties over time

     @lain from a financial standpoint idiotic, but maybe she knows herself well and realizes she couldn't handle the sum.

     @lain maybe her not realizing what a stupid decision it is to take the weekly sum is an indicator that it's the right choice for her to take the weekly sum :aismart:

     @lain I mean if she plans on living more than 20 years that's a better payout than the 1 million lump.

     @waltercool @lain Nope, it's the provincial lottery commission, so it would be stupid of them to give out money to then take it back, so in a rare example of not doing the stupidest possible thing the government made lottery winnings not taxable.
     
     But of course, capital gains, interest from investing the winnings *are* taxable.

     @lain Dunno. Perhaps she already knows far too many people who would come outta the woodwork tryin to mooch off the lump sum. So she can tell 'em $1k doesn't even cover a third of my rent, get lost bro!
