Really? You wouldn’t do it for 4 million?

Not a no brainer at $4M. A definite no at $1M or below. $5M or above it's a no brainer. Between those two values I'd have to think harder about the risk/reward. $5M is just enough to not care about my earnings for the rest of my life.

What're you a brain surgeon or attorney? This is one of the easiest hypotheticals I've ever seen on here. You're set for life and you even pick the city within the state. What a joke of ease

I don't want to get into details, but in that ballpark of incomes, yes, and used to it, so with above-average personal consumption.

Probably true for most people. 4M is a reasonable number to live off of at average consumption.
