if I offered you $10 million now, but you died (peacefully) tomorrow, you would not take it. You value the rest of your life more than $10 million. Most people would agree.
But, most people don’t live like their life is worth millions. I’m guilty of that personally.
According to Social Security data, the average lifetime gross income for an American is $1.13 million to $3.05 million. If your life is worth $10 million, you should make at least $10 million. Or the equivalent in something else (like experiences or relationships).
Don’t devalue your life.

if you gave me that same deal, except that i would die in a year, i would take it in a heartbeat. the only reason i wouldn’t take this one is cause i wouldn’t be able to do anything with the money before i died.
