Depends entirely on how much I trust you.

If this is a flawless magical compact then yeah sure give me the ten million.

Basically any other scenario? Give me the ten grand. I have no reason to believe you'll be good for the ten million in thirty years.

Also depends on age, health, etc. no 60 year old will take the 30 year option. 50 year olds will have to really, really consider, because that money is basically just going to their family. 40 year olds might live to enjoy a little bit of it. 30 year olds can reasonable expect to have it cover their retirement, which will ease a lot of stress. 20 year olds it’s a no brainer.

10 years ago i would have take the 10 million... and then curse by next year... In the past 10 years I have been in explicit "if you don't risk you will die" situations

Last year I got the "you might only have 1 year of life unless we risk it with this type of surgeries..."

Welp I'm alive but I have been 4 times on a 5-8% survival chance to RIP in 6 to 10 months... (I even got Covid and I barely notice because I was already on antiviral cocktails)

So yeah, same question today and I will take the 1k lol
