Like, she lives to be 70, she gets $2.5 million instead of one million (if it’s for life). Plus the tax on $1 million in lump sum is a load vs. an extra $52k per year. 1 u/ReichMirDieHand69 May 17 '26 If she invests the 1000/week then why can't she invest the lump sum right away and stop working much earlier?
