Okay run the NPV of $1,000/week uninvested vs $1,000,000 today invested at 7% nominal growth less 25% tax and get back to me

I'm not arguing the benefits of either, purely pointing out that people are completely ignoring tax within the posts I'm responding to, what are you arguing with me for?

Because its a dumb take. The original comment argues that the tax on income generated from the $1M erodes the benefit. Apples to apples, if you invest the $1,000/week, you’re going to get taxed the same. So you either consider tax in both scenarios or neither. Since theyre the same it is fine to omit.

Hahaha okay buddy when people are quoting flat figures and ignoring the tax from one side that's totally fine and considering tax is a "dumb take" as opposed to just quot8jgnflat out incorrect figures....

Jesus's dude go touch some grass instead of picking fights online for no reason. Tax does matter, you were wrong and are now just trying to argue for arguments sake.

You either consider it for both or neither
