You made a decision. I hand you a million dollars and you walk away at a fast pace with things running through your mind. You are full of excitement and for the time being, all is well. Someone asks you, where did you get the money? You say someone said to me, take a million dollars right now or take a penny a day doubled for 30 days...I grabbed the million...That person says...OH NO!
Day 1: $.01...We know. No big deal. Not even worth stooping down for or the time it takes to do so
Day 20: $5,242.88...No bigger deal and taking the million dollars looks like it was the way to go.
Day 25: $167,772.16...It is still respectable money, but no where close to the million....
Day 26: $335,544.32...I am happy for whoever took the penny because they are doing just fine...It is not the million, but oh well and happy days for all
Day 27: $671,088.64 and this is nothing to laugh at except taking the million was brilliant and well done. It holds!
Day 28: $1,342,177.28....The pain of your decision creeps up and hits you hard. You start doubitng your thinking process
Day 29: $2,684,354.56...You are no longer enjoying your million any more and feel you have lost something
Day 30: $5,368,709.12...You have been robbed, tricked, violated and deceived...you ponder and walk off using the million for comfort to offset the pain of the enormous losses from your own impulsiveness
A penny for your thoughts comes to mind
