Lump sum...

1) Buy my grandpa a Cadillac, the biggest most expensive one I could find (because he said, "I know it been a good life if I've had a Cadillac in my life."
2) Buy my mom a '55 T-bird (her dream car)
3) Buy my dad a '65 AC Cobra (his dream car)
4) Buy my wife a VW Cabrio (her dream car)
5) Buy my best friend a '92 Accord 4DR Black EX and have him deck it out to his desire (his dream car).
6) Pay off all of my friends cars (yes including my peeps on SL, TA, and SE)
7) Take all my family and friends on a "paid vacation"
Buy some land and build 2 houses on it, one for my wife and I, another for friends to stay live @ and watch the house when I am away.
9) Travel and do charity work the rest of my life...
and finally!
10) Stop complaining and get a carbon hood...

Starting my own company.... that's good. Let me put that on my list too.
According to the "Rule of 72" money invested at a certain point in time, in say, a mutual fund, will double in 6 years.

I would have to start investing in space travel. I have serious doubts in the world's populace in correcting our many problems.

yea if you think about it lump sum is the better way to go..

after inflation you figure you will reaceive exactly the same amount of money, only with the lump sum you get it all at once... (so much for my econ classes be worthwhile, lol) I guess I would have to run a few calculations ot be sure but I have far too much other shcool work to do..

So... I guess I would do lump sum..

And then get my Zonda and a house and invest the rest and then when I have a few bil. do buy toyota and make sure the supra comes out with like 600 horses...
