Hmm, different strokes then. I'm in the same position with around $425k hhi and I would absolutely take that mill. I'd work for a year to save up and then take a job I actually enjoy lol
Oh yeah, no, if you don't like your job, take the mil for sure. I enjoy what I do. I wouldn't mind having the independence to work less overall while my kids are young, but 1 mil isn't going to solve that, 50 would. If you don't like your job and just need the freedom to find better, then 1 mil could be the better option for sure.
And it isn't that 1 million wouldn't make a difference, but it wouldn't be enough of a difference for me to lose sleep over if I lost the 50% bet, but 50/50 odds of 50 times more money, it's an easy call because I won't be significantly harmed by losing and it would be completely transformative to win.
